The church was completed in 1958 as the Finnish Seamen's Mission to cater for Finnish seamen in ships using the nearby docks, but now serves the broader Finnish community in London. The building was designed by Cyril Mardall of Yorke, Rosenberg and Mardall and is clad in Portland stone. The church, its six stage tower to the left, and its unusual interior arrangements are now Grade II listed. For a view of the tower from the north-west side please see Stephen's Image The Church's website is here http://www.finnishchurch.org.uk/
