St Edmund's Church or St Edmund of Canterbury Church is a Catholic parish church in Beckenham, the Borough of Bromley, London. It was built from 1937 to 1938 and designed by James O’Hanlon Hughes who also designed St George's Church, Polegate. Built in the late Gothic Revival style, it is situated close to the town centre, on Village Way near the junction with the High Street. According to Nikolaus Pevsner's The Buildings of England, the church is "worthy of Sir Giles Scott himself".[2]
