Former St Paul's Church, Millwall

This Presbyterian church building was erected in 1859, architect T E Knightly. Its polychromatic brick style is unusual for non-conformist churches of the time, as is the denomination in an area dominated by Roman or Anglo-Catholic churches. According to the listing (Grade II, list entry 1065817) "there is a tradition that St Paul's was built to serve the needs of Scottish ironworkers brought to work on the Great Eastern." After closure, at one time it was in industrial use but is now "Hubbub" cafe bar. Photographed during the 2019 London Marathon, hence the spectators and bunting.
