St George's Cathedral (formerly Christ Church), Albany Street, Camden NW1 - Camden
Former parish church. Designed by Sir James Pennethorne, built in 1837 in neo-Grecian style to serve Nash's development east of Regents Park, with later alterations. The Roman cement mouldings and past repairs in cementitious mortar are failing in places. Cracking is evident, particularly on the principal street elevations. The tower, spire and main cornice have been netted for safety. In 2020 Historic England awarded a Covid-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund grant for a condition survey of the spire to inform a future package of repairs. The building is now vacant
