Located at Partnership House, 157 Waterloo Road SE1 8UU, this building was the headquarters for the Church Mission Society until 2007 when it moved to Oxford. This Society, which was founded in April 1799 by William Wilberforce and others, is a group of evangelistic societies working with the Anglican Church and Protestant Christians around the world. Since this photo was taken in April 2010, this building has been demolished and a hotel now stands on this site. A "Welcome to Lambeth" sign can be seen to the right of the photo.

This photo, taken in April 2010, shows the blocked-up entrance to the former Church Mission Society Headquarters at Partnership House, 157 Waterloo Road SE1 8UU. The wording inscribed at the entrance is from the Gospel of Mark Ch 16 vv 15 "Go forth to every part of the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation". This building has since been demolished and a hotel now stands on this site.

A grand Ionic-columned front, dated 1928 by Payne Wyatt for David Greig, now only a front to a building behind of 1979-80. Grade II listed. Known as Wellington House and occupied by the Department of Health for some years, though sheathed in scaffolding last time I passed by in 2015.

A severe grey-mosaic-clad block by the Greater London Council's Architect's Department, c1970. It stretches a long way behind down Morley Street.

The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. They caught the last train for the coast...(lyrics by Don MacLean). Actually, the old headquarters of the Church Missionary Society on Waterloo Road. They didn't move to the coast but to Cowley in Oxfordshire. When in use, these offices were known to taxi drivers as Go Forth House.

Curving block built in 1964-66 to the designs of Ansell & Bailey. In front is the chapel (see here for the wording Image]). The CMS have gone and this is scheduled to be demolished in favour of a hotel.
