St Chad and St Andrew (Former), St Andrews Road, Plaistow now Universal Church of the Kingdom of God

A James Brooks church of 1868-70. Now used by the Brazillian-originated Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. The church is divided horizontally and vertically. The chancel contains an auditorium for Portuguese language services which are held in parallel with English language services in the nave. The north transept contains a full immersion font and the crossing and south transept stairs and a lift to the upper levels. None of the Anglican fittings survive.
