A trip to the local polling station gave me a chance to document the church tower of St. John, Bethnal Green, designed by Sir John Soane in 1826 for the Commissioners of the 1818 Church Building Act at more or less the same time that he was designing St. Peter, Walworth and Holy Trinity, Marylebone.   It’s the standard model of Comissioners’ church:  a big, barn-like interior to maximise the number of pews;  ornament restricted to the church tower, which is characteristic of Soane with a small pepper pot, which was originally planned to be much higher:-
