Nichée dans l’est de Londres, cette église anglicane témoigne de la riche histoire religieuse et de l'évolution des communautés urbaines de la capitale britannique. Édifice ancré dans la vie locale, il tire son originalité d'une fusion survenue en 1955, unissant deux lieux de culte distincts sous un double patronage. Aujourd'hui, ce sanctuaire perpétue sa mission spirituelle en tant que composante essentielle de la vaste paroisse de la Divine Compassion, regroupant plusieurs églises historiques de Plaistow et Canning Town.
