History
Saint Jude's was designed by Joseph Peacock. It was the first church to be constructed in London using monies from the Bishop of London's Fund. The consecration took place in 1863. The last marriage register was closed in June 1936 on the union of the parish with Holy Cross, Cromer Street. The church was demolished and many of its memorials and fittings were moved to Holy Cross.
