51/53 Chatham Street. This is the UK Provincial headquarters of an African Instituted Church. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_Sacred_Order_of_Cherubim_and_Seraphim for more details on this Nigerian church. This church was part of the St John's College (Cambridge) Mission which included a hostel and parsonage on the same site. The church building opened in 1889 and was uniquely dedicated to Lady Margaret, Countess of Richmond and Derby, the co-founder of St John's college, rather than to a saint. The church was considered for closure from 1966 and finally declared redundant by the Church of England in 1983. It has been leased from the Diocese of Southwark by the Cherubim and Seraphim church since then. The building was listed grade 2 in 1994 (Listed Building No. 470776).
