Reverend Prebendary Alan Green, Rector of St John on Bethnal Green
St John on Bethnal Green, a grade 1 Listed Building, was designed by Sir John Soane and built between 1826 and 1828. It also contains Chris Gollon’s magnificent 14 Stations of the Cross. St John’s has been listed in The Guardian newspaper as one of the top five cultural highlights of the East End because of our mixture of spirituality and art.
