Have you ever noticed this grand clock, ticking away on St Philip’s? It’s a local landmark, added to the church in 1883. St Philip’s itself is older, built back in 1857. A vicar from nearby St Barnabas saw the growing population of Earl’s Court and decided they needed their own place of worship. And so, St Philip’s was born. It wasn’t all smooth sailing though. During World War II, the Blitz rained down on London. St Philip’s was damaged, its beautiful stained glass windows shattered. But just like the resilient spirit of London, the church was restored. The windows were recreated, now silent witnesses to the city’s turbulent past. Today, St Philip’s stands proud, a testament to faith and resilience, its clock relentlessly marking the passage of time.
