Wikipedia has a brief article about St Andrew's church that tells us:

St Andrew's Church, Surbiton is one of two Church of England parish churches in Surbiton, London - the other is St Mark's. It is dedicated to Saint Andrew, and is situated at the junction of St Andrew's Road and Maple Road.

The church was built in 1871–72 by Sir Arthur Blomfield, at a cost of £6,602, and consecrated in 1872. The money was put up by Angela Burdett-Coutts, of Coutts Bank. It was listed grade II, entry 1080050, in 1983. The stained glass above the chancel and both in and above the baptistry was designed and produced by Lavers, Barraud and Westlake; the other stained glass is later.

The tower was added in the early 20th century, at a cost of £1,400, as a gift of thanks to the then Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) following his recovery from an illness.[1] In 2009 Saint Andrew's underwent restoration.

As mentioned, the church is Grade II listed with the entry at the Historic England website advising:

Built 1871. Sir A Blomfield, architect. Brick Gothic church. North western tower with saddle-back roof and entrance porch. Yellow brick with red and white bands, some stone dressings and some black voussoirs. Wide nave of four bays with narrow side aisles and an apsed baptistery at the west end. Clerestorey with two pointed lancets per bay. Transeptal chancel chapels wide open to the chancel. One shallow bay for the sanctuary. Polychrome brickwork above chancel arch. Stained glass by Lavers and Westlake. Steeply pitched, tiled roofs.
