The church is near Bethnal Green tube station, on Bethnal Green Road and Roman Road. It is a Grade I listed building.In 2000, the painter Chris Gollon gained a major commission from the Church of England for fourteen Stations of the Cross paintings for the church. Gollon was a controversial choice, since he is not a practising Christian. In order to carry out the commission, and for consultation on theological matters, he collaborated with Fr Alan Green, rector of the church.The belfry provides an exhibition space for artists.
