| [[Our Lady of Loreto and St Winefride's, Kew]]|| [[Roman Catholic]]||From 1890 to 1906 local Roman Catholics met in a temporary chapel at a Catholic mission on Kew Gardens Road. Designed by the architects [[Alexander Scoles|Scoles & Raymond]], the new church was opened in 1906 and the side aisles, [[baptistery]] and chapels were added in 1968. The [[sanctuary]] was remodelled in 1977 and the church was refurbished and decorated in 1998. A parish hall is located next to the church. After a parishioner's bequest paid off the church's debts, the church was dedicated and consecrated in 1979. ||1 Leyborne Park, Kew, Richmond TW9 3HB||{{URL|www.stwinefrides.org.uk}}||[[File:Our Lady of Loreto and St Winefride's, Kew.jpg|120px|]]

| [[St Luke's Church, Kew]] ||Anglican||Founded in 1889, St Luke's now forms a joint parish with the Barn Church (below). The church, built in the [[Gothic Revival]] style by architects [[Edward Goldie|Goldie, Child and Goldie]], was redesigned in 1983 to create a smaller space for Christian worship in the former [[chancel]] area and to enable the former [[nave]], and a second hall constructed in a [[loft]] conversion, to be used for community purposes also: it now hosts the Kew Community Trust and acts as a community centre.||The Avenue, Kew, Richmond TW9 2AJ||{{URL|www.stlukeskew.org}}||[[File:St_Luke's_church,_Kew_-_west_end_-_geograph.org.uk_-_1526467.jpg|120px]]
|-
|[[St Philip and All Saints Church, Kew]] (the Barn Church) ||Anglican||Founded in 1929, this was the first barn church to be consecrated in England. Local Anglicans previously worshipped at St Peter's, a hall erected in 1910 (and now demolished) on the corner of Marksbury Avenue and Chilton Road. The church building was constructed in 1929 from a 17th- (or possibly 16th-) century barn from [[Oxted]] in Surrey. The west end was converted in 2002 into a large parish room with a gallery above looking down the length of the building. The [[chancel|sanctuary]] was refurbished and remodelled in 1998.||Atwood Avenue, Kew, Richmond TW9 4HF||{{URL|barnchurchkew.uk}}||[[File:The_Barn_Church,_Kew.jpg|120px]]
