Hope Church (former Church of St Mary Magdalene) and attached railings, Holloway Road, Islington N7 - Islington
Closed Church of England church re-opened as Hope Church in 2013; built 1812-14 by William Wickings as the Chapel of Ease to St Mary's Islington. The church is built of London stock bricks with Portland stone dressings. The east end tower has settled structurally, and the north and south porches have settled and pulled away from the aisles. The west end and west porch have also settled. The crypt is at risk of flooding due to high underground water levels, currently controlled by permanent pumping. The Diocese of London is arranging for the north and south porches to be supported.
