St John's Church, which is the oldest church in Wapping, was originally built as a chapel-of-ease to Whitechapel in 1615-17 and became the parish church when Wapping was constituted as a separate parish in 1694. While the church was bombed during WWII, a fragmentary rectangular shell remains. The tower was restored in 1964, and the rest of the building was converted into flats in the 1990s.
St John's Church features in Season 4, Episode 23 of Friends, "The One with Ross's Wedding". In that episode, Ross, Monica, and Emily approach a dilapidated church, where Ross and Emily are meant to be married, but are shocked to find that it is a building site, with the church in the process of being demolished. The exterior of St John's Church is visible in the scene, although it is unlikely that the subsequent wedding was filmed onsite.
