St Michael, Cobham Close, Wandsworth Common
Very near Wandsworth Common, this is a church and former school of 1881 by William White. It was built as a memorial to Rev H.B. Verdon and Philip Cazenove, all the money raised by their friends. The stained glass is, apart from the south chapel, by Lavers, Barraud & Westlake.
St Stephen (former), Battersea Park Road, Battersea now Assemblies of the First Born (Pentecostal)
Towards the western end of this long road on the corner of Battersea Bridge Road. It is by William White and dates from 1886-87. It was declared redundant and reopened as an Assemblies of the First Born church in 1978.
St Mark, Battersea Rise, Battersea
A William White church of 1872-74, now with offices added on the western and southern sides. There has been some reordering inside but many of the listed fittings such as the font, pulpit and roof shields have been retained. There is also a large amount of naturalistic carving on the capitals. Under the chancel, there is a vaulted crypt.
St Anne, St Ann’s Hill, Wandsworth
The very tall tower can be seen from some way off. It dates from 1820-24 and is by Robert Smirke. It sits on a slope at the top of a large green space. The chancel was added in 1896 by E.W. Mountford, there was also work by William White in 1891.
All Saints, Talbot Road, Notting Hill
Built 1852-61 and designed by William White. The tall tower was planned to be surmounted by a spire but this was found to be impossible due to ground conditions. War time damage was repaired by Milner & Craze in 1951. Currently (Dec 2025) the Lady Chapel cannot be used due to unsafe masonry. There is work by Martin Travers and Ninian Comper, some from St Columb which is now a Serbian Orthodox church.
St Silas, Penton Street, Pentonville
Started in 1860 to designs by S.S. Teulon but completed in 1863 by E.P. Loftus Brock, the chancel was added in 1884 by William White. In 2009 it was re-roofed using solar tiles. The reredos and Stations of the Cross are by Michael Coles.

St Saviour, Aberdeen Park, Highbury
Designed by William White 1865-66 with much polychromatic interior decoration. It has been used since 1990 as The Florence Trust artist’s studios, however, it seems likely that 2019 will be the last year of this use.
