Lawrence House – St Laurence Church
The original Church of St Laurence was built in 1887 and demolished in 1968 alongside the neighbouring Town Hall. On its site, now stands Lawrence House, which is home to a number of departments of Lewisham Council. The New Church of St Laurence was established on Bromley Road, not far from the original site.

St Laurence Church featured in many of the accounts and memories of Catford that made up the fabric of the script for Catford Tales. The real recording of the vicar of the New St. Laurence Church, remembering the Queen’s visit to Catford was the opening scene of the play.
