The City of London church of All Hallows, Staining (P69/ALH6) was demolished and the parish merged with Saint Olave, Hart Street (P69/OLA1). The rector used some of the funds raised from the sale of the site of All Hallows to build a church in the poor district of Mile End New Town, on the corner of Hanbury Street and Kingward Street, in the middle of a terrible slum. The foundation stone was laid on 25th June 1874; the architect was A.W. Bomfield; the design Early English. It was consecrated by the Bishop of London on 23rd April 1975. Later a vicarage and parish hall were built.

The stonework was decayed by 1904, the church closed and the parish reunited to All Saints (P93/ALL1). The church was demolished in 1916. The mission building was sold in 1929 and became a synagogue. This was demolished in 1965 and the site is now a children's playground.
