 St. Luke's  

Kew Comm. Trust

 

 

 

 

St Luke’s Church was built in 1889, following a temporary ‘iron church’ in Sandycombe Road to serve the growing population of the parish with the coming of the District Line.

The large Victorian Church in the Avenue was redesigned in 1983 to function as a dual purpose building: a smaller church in the former chancel area, and the former nave as community space, with a second hall constructed in the lofty roof area.

These areas of the building are currently occupied by the Kew Community Trust. The core activity of the Trust is the Avenue Club, a non-profit making social centre offering a range of recreational activities for the whole community.
