St. Peter's Church

St Peter's Church is located near the AMP Oval Cricket Ground and was designed by the Victorian architect, John Loughborough Pearson. It was built between 1863 and 1864 on the edge of what used to be Vauxhall Gardens, and its main altar lies on the site of the Neptune Fountain. By the time St Peter's was built, Lambeth had a population of 162,000, and the church was built to cater for their spiritual needs.
