St Michael's Court, Poplar
Former church and associated buildings in St Leonard's Road, now converted into private residences.
The Parish of St Michael and All Angels, South Bromley, was one of six to be created from the ancient parish of Bromley St Leonard's in 1864, to serve a burgeoning East End population. Designed by FW Morris and consecrated in 1865, the building served as the parish church for a tightly-knit community centred on the shops and pubs of St Leonard's Road. However Poplar suffered heavily from Second World War bombing, and city planners levelled much of the rest in the post-war era. The much-depleted congregation clung on until until 1975, when they joined with nearby All Saints, Poplar.
