St Michael, Mark Street, Shoreditch

An early James Brooks church of 1863-65. It closed in 1964 and for a long time it was an architectural salvage store called Lassco, Westland & Company which shut in 2019. The lower set of images shows it in that use in 2011.After that closed it became an events venue which has now closed. The church forms part of a group with Sunday Schools (1870) and a clergy house (1867). That house is currently used as a showroom by interior design company House of Hackney and some interiors are in the 2026 set. The church was planned in 2022 to be converted into a shared office space called Vetus joined to a new office block called Novum but as of early 2026 there is little sign of anything happening.
