Not St Benet Finks, the door hinges are different and building angle wrong

Nor is it St. Mary's Parish Church, the one that is no longer there.

I'll see if anyone at St. Paul's recognises it as another local church. But yes, not the old St. Paul's.  Not sure of the timings, but could it be the old Holy Trinity Stroud Green?

Pretty sure this is St Mark's Church, Noel Park - the entrance near Gladstone Avenue just before the roundabout with Ashley Crescent.

Yes, everything matches, the door proportions, the brickwork, the sloping ground and the position of the tree behind - well spotted.

You could be right because that door was always used for wedding couples to leave the church, only time I ever saw it used, so they went through a different door from the one they entered into their new life
