Why it's Wildland
3.6On Kennington Park Road, St Mark’s is a Greek Revival church opened in 1824. Its sandstone exterior and Portland stone Doric porch give this neighbourhood landmark a more formal architectural presence than its everyday setting might suggest.
St Mark’s is a locally distinctive heritage stop for its Greek Revival architecture and Grade II* listing, rather than a wild landscape destination. The church’s own site describes an active community; confirm whether the building is open to visitors before planning an interior visit.
