St Michael's Church, Shoreditch
St Michael's Church is a deconsecrated Church of England church in Shoreditch, entered from Mark Street and running parallel to Leonard Street. Its parish was formed in 1862. The building was designed by James Brooks and opened in 1865, though a planned tower was never added. A vicarage (1867–1868) and school were soon added (1870), which were both listed at Grade II* in 1975. In 1937 the parish took on part of the dissolved parish of St Mark Old Street. The church was Grade I listed in 1950 but closed in 1964, with its parish merged back into that of St Leonard Shoreditch, from which it had originally been split. The nave was designated as a storage warehouse, then in 1978 the whole church was sold by the Diocese of London to the London Architectural Salvage and Supply Co (LASSCO) and Westland & Company, which used it as a showroom for architectural salvage. It is currently being converted into office space.
