caption_attribution_description: English: The Christ Church Lambeth postwar building This is a photo of listed building number 1358233.
context_page_description: Christ Church, Lambeth, England, was founded by the Rev Dr Christopher Newman Hall in 1876 as a Congregational chapel, on Westminster Bridge Road. It drew its congregation largely from Surrey Chapel.
  Christ Church formed part of a complex of new mission buildings, including the Lincoln Tower and a new premises for Hawkstone Hall. On Newman Hall's retirement, it passed to F. B. Meyer.
context_section_description: Christ Church was rebuilt on a smaller scale in the late 1950s and early 1960s, following the destruction of the original church during the Second World War, and was combined with Upton Chapel (Baptist), which had also been destroyed during the war (the Lambeth Road Upton Chapel had been built in 1862, providing a purpose-built chapel for baptist meetings that had been originated in 1785 by James Upton).
  The chapel is now known, in this combined form, as Christ Church & Upton Chapel United Reformed, and more recently as Church.co.uk, Waterloo following its association with the Oasis Trust. The tower is occupied by Shiva Limited.
  The chapel is inconspicuous, being integrated into an office block of a modernist architectural style. Its interior is used as a café as well as a chapel. Here, a plaque, dating from 1894, has been displayed – salvaged from the chapel built by Newman Hall. It reads:
  A stained glass window illuminates the chapel from the east. On the exterior of the chapel, a foundation stone records details its rebuilding in 1959. The architect was P. J. Darvall ARIBA, the minister was Rev. P. Saunders, and the stone was laid by J. Rider Smith. In between 2013-2014 the whole church site was converted into Oasis Academy Southbank, a secondary academy school, part of the Oasis Academy network. The Chapel was converted into a sports hall. The stained glass window has been boarded up due to its out date depictions of black people and slavery.
