Former Mission Hall on Pember Road and Wellington Road. It pre-dates 1893, when plans were approved to add a vestry (see Middlesex Courier for 1 Dec 1893). It seems to have been a mission from St. John the Evangelist in Kensal Green. © Gervase N. E. Charmley.

St. Mark was built in 1914, but the front looks younger. Perhaps another victim of WWII? In fact, advises Howard Richter, the building as originally constructed had a corrugated iron west front, as the project lacked sufficient funds. The present frontage was added in 1968. Another view. An earlier church stood on the same site. Dedicated in 1903, it was smaller, and was on a different alignment. TQ 2263 8311. Both © Gervase N. E. Charmley. Link. Streetview.
