Looking at Catholic churches in London, there were two churches named “Holy Trinity” (or something close to that). I picked the one that was more accessible by public transport and dragged my kids to the 6p Mass, which, it turned out, was the shortest Sunday Mass I’ve ever attended at 37 minutes long, thanks, largely, to the fact that there was no music at all.
Most Holy Trinity Dockhead was established as a mission church in a chapel in South London which was destroyed in anti-Catholic riots in 1780. A replacement church was built in 1837–8 during the era of Catholic emancipation in England, but destroyed during wartime bombing (in a bomb attack which also killed three resident priests) and replaced by the present building, built in 1957–60.
