There seem to have been two predecessor churches dedicated to Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. The first was opened ca 1861 and the second in 1892. This latter church was destroyed by enemy action in 1942. The present church was built ca. 1987 on land reclaimed from the docks
There is no graveyard at the Church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception. We know of only three Roman Catholic cemeteries in the London area, St. Mary's in Kensal Green, St. Patrick's in Leytonstone, and St. Mary Magdalene in Mortlake. Many local cemeteries may have Roman Catholic sections see https://www.southwark.gov.uk/births-deaths-marriage-civil-partnership-and-citizenship/deaths-funerals-and-cremations/cemeteries-and-crematorium The Roman Catholic church of Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception is located in the Anglican ecclesiastical parishan ecclesiastical parish is an administrative area within the Church of England or Roman Catholic church.
