St Peter le Poer was a parish church on the west side of Broad Street in the City of London.

The name was traditionally explained as a reference to the poverty of the area – although by the beginning of the 19th century it was one of the richest in the City – or to its proximity to the monastery of St Augustine, whose monks professed indigence.

A wooden gallery,[1] supported by brackets concealed in the flooring,[2] ran around almost the entire circumference of the interior, except for a section above the altar.

[3] The east front in Broad Street had an entrance facade with four attached columns supporting an entablature and pediment, behind which rose a low square tower, ornamented with pilasters and urns.

[3] As late as 1884, the St Peter's received a new Henry Willis organ[4] but, as the City's resident population declined, it was deemed surplus to requirements and demolished in 1907,[5] under the Union of Benefices Act 1860.

[8] Proceeds from the sale of the site were used to build St Peter Le Poer in Friern Barnet, which also received the City church's font, pulpit and panelling.

The foundation stone was laid on 2 November 1909 and the church was consecrated 28 June 1910 by the Bishop of London, the Rt Rev Arthur Foley Winnington-Ingram.
