St George Hanover Square. One of the 'Fifty New Churches' or 'Queen Anne Churches'. Built by John James between 1721 and 1725. The portico has six giant Corinthian columns supporting a large pediment, and the tower is set just behind the portico. The site is a block south of Hanover Square, so the monumental portico on the west front faces the narrow St George Street rather than an open space.
