St Augustine's Court, Lynton Road, Bermondsey. It would be hard to disguise the fact that this 'court' was originally a church. In fact, St Augustine's was one of the largest churches in South London, built in 1875-1883 to the designs of Henry Jarvis, and seated 950 people. That was one reason for its proposed closure when the parish merged with that of St Anne 1449457 in 1970 but in fact it was not formally declared redundant by the Church of England until 1995. After a short period of lease to another Christian group it was sold in 2005 for conversion to residential use. The building remains listed grade 2*.
