History
The church of Saint Saviour began as a temporary iron church, founded in 1900. It seated 300 and was used for services until a permanent church could be constructed. The new church was built between 1904 and 1909 in a Decorated style; it seated 700. A district chapelry was assigned in 1904; the Bishop of London was patron. The parish was united with Saint Andrew, Alexandra Park Road, in 1993; to form the new parish of Alexandra Park. Saint Andrew's is used as the parish church.
