how it all began
St Nicholas was planted in the 1930’s from St Mary’s, Perivale which is one of London's oldest churches. Dating back to at least the early thirteenth century, the church still stands today and is beautifully maintained as a venue for classical music concerts.
Church in a garage
In 1934 a small garage was built in the garden of 25 Devon Close to host services for the ever growing population of Perivale. Just a year later the building of a dual-purpose hall in Federal Road was possible due to the hard work and sacrifice of a small but growing number of people. It was dedicated as St Nicholas Church.
built in the 60’s
Twenty-six years later, work began on a new permanent church building for Perivale. On the land in front of the existing church hall in Federal Road was built a large worship centre for church and community. It was a much-loved building which served its purpose for over four decades.
the church building today
The turn of the new millennium brought with it concerns over the build quality of the existing church. The persistence and fortitude of the St Nicholas community, evidenced since the 1930’s was going to be needed again. By the grace and goodness of God, our new Church Centre was opened in 2015 offering an eco-friendly space for up to 200 worshipping Christians, plus multi-use facilities to help serve the wider community.
