Built in 1815 of stock brick in a simple classical style on the site of the old parish church which had been demolished.

One of several impressive tombs in St Paul's church Image, this one is of Sir Richard Atkins, Baronet, and his wife. It dates from the 17th century and must therefore have come from the former Holy Trinity church that was replaced by the present St Paul's in 1815.

The Eden Garden is located in St Paul's Churchyard. There has been a church on this site since the 12th century when it was the parish church for the village of Clapham. The existing church building was dedicated to St Paul in 1815 and is Grade II* listed. The churchyard was extended to provide a burial ground for parishioners who died from the Plague and later for Roundhead soldiers killed in the Civil War battle for Battersea Marshes. It was closed for burials in 1854. Eden at St Paul's was closed in 2000 as a community garden, turning an area of disused church land into a tranquil inner city space. It aims to create and maintain a sustainable habitat for wildlife and promote biodiversity by planting British native species and through organic gardening. St Paul's Churchyard and the Eden Garden are holders of the 'Green Flag Award'. Eden is independently funded by various charitable trusts and individual donations.
