Portico of St John's church

A close-up view of the classical portico of this church, which is one of the latest examples in London of this style of church architecture: by 1840 most architects were embracing neo-gothic.

The church is grade 2 listed and an extract from the list description describes it more precisely: "Hexastyle Ionic portico and pediment over entablature, both enriched with egg and dart moulding. Three entrances, the central very tall in moulded architrave with paterae border and console bracketed cornice. Entablature continues around South window returns with cill band and stone plinth, greyish brick walls."
