St John’s at Waterloo was designed by Francis Octavius Bedford, and was opened in 1824 as part of the celebration of victory in the Napoleonic wars. The church is Greek revival in style, and was noted for having one of the finest organs of the period. Unfortunately, when the church was bombed in 1940 the organ was removed, and although some parts were salvaged the organ in the church today is much smaller than the grand instrument of the 19th century. The church was reopened in 1951 after the bombings, and has recently been fully restored.
