Geschiedenis
The church of Saint George was built between 1822 and 1824 at a cost of £16700, as one of a number of churches built in the period 1815-1825 in South London. It had a Doric portico and a tower, with a flat, panelled ceiling. An apse was added in 1893. Saint George's was the first ''daughter'' church to Saint Giles, the ancient parish church of Camberwell. It reflected the location and intensity of develpoment in the area, which was undergoing rapid population growth. The Peckham extension of the Grand Surrey Canal flowed alongside the church.
The church was closed as a centre of Anglican worship in 1970 but the parish continues. The church was acquired by an evangelical church in 1977. The parish church is now a purpose built worship area within Trinity College Centre, Newent Close, London, SE15.
