St John's Waterloo

Client St John's Waterloo

Award RIBA London Award 2024

Eric Parry Architects were chosen for the renewal of the Grade II listed St John’s Waterloo following their success at St Martin-in-the-Fields on Trafalgar Square.

Fourteen years on, the beautifully restored early 19th century Greek Revival church, complete with its historically significant post-war paintings by the renowned German-Jewish refugee artist Hans Feibusch, has now emerged. This project is testament to the care and perseverance of the vicar, the local community and the architects in reinstating the full potential of an underused church over more than a decade. Their work has decluttered it from its unsympathetic late additions, resulting in simple, elegant spaces that will serve its congregation for many years to come.
