Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Saint John's Church was situated on Tadema Road. Open air services had been held in the area from 1873. The permanent church was opened in 1876 to serve the new development of World's End in west Chelsea. The church sponsored a wide range of charitable and social activities and worked with the Salvation Army. The church was bombed in 1940 and services moved to a mission church, Saint John's Community Church, on Blantyre Street. In 1973 the parish was united with Saint Andrew's, Park Walk.
