The church was built in 1955 on the Aberfeldy Estate as a daughter church to Poplar's All Saints. It was closed in 1969 and used as a vinyl record warehouse. In the 1990s St Nick's became a center for community work and was re-opened for worship in 1998. The church was re-dedicated in 2000 and has also been refurbished. All Saints and St Nick's form the Parish of Poplar.
