I have happy memories of attending services here in days gone by. AIUI, the congregation has now moved to another church in the City of London - St Mary-at-Hill - but is still known as St Anne's.

Their former home at St Anne & St Agnes still exists, but not (so far as I know) as a functioning church.

Another chimed in with a personal note — they have fond memories of attending there, but pointed out that the congregation has since relocated to St Mary-at-Hill, another City church, while still going by the St Anne's name. The original building at St Anne & St Agnes still stands, but it's no longer operating as an active church. Pretty common story for historic London churches, where congregations shift around while the buildings take on different lives.

In this case, people still identify with St Anne’s name even though the congregation now meets at St Mary-at-Hill. The old St Anne & St Agnes building still exists, but it’s no longer active as a church. It’s interesting how the history and the community name persist even when the physical space changes function.
