Probably a planning requirement so it didn’t block the light hitting the stained glass window?

It's a downward angle, looks specifically like it's there for pedestrians (or maybe something specific along that path)

I wondered if it was something to do with Londons protected sight lines, but turns out it’s just good neighbours.
