The organ

In two parts, one each side of the chancel, one of the most striking features, though perhaps with more affinity with the roughly contemporary one in the Royal Festival Hall than with traditional church organs.

Also bottom left, the pleasingly chunky candlesticks, no pussyfooting there. Bottom righ a sculpture 'The Plumbline and the City' by Clake Fitzgerald, which I rather like even if I fail to see its significance even after prompting to the text from Amos

Also shows that the roof grid does tie into the rest of the structure quite neatly; perhaps Basil Spence was involved in The Modular or some scholastic derivation
