User:HJ.Phillips94/St Luke's Church, Kew

St Luke's Church, Kew is a parish church in Kew, in Greater London. It is part of the Church of England and the Anglican Communion, and on a local scale it is a member of Churches Together In Kew. The church, built in the Gothic Revival style, is also host to the Kew Community Trust and acts as a community centre. The current vicar is Revd. Peter Hart.

History
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.

Other Uses
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.
