How do I find an Orthodox church near me in London?
Orthodox London is organised by jurisdiction, not by a single English diocese. St Sophia’s (the Cathedral of the Divine Wisdom) in Bayswater is the mother cathedral of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain, consecrated in 1882. Other listings include Russian, Romanian, Antiochian and Oriental Orthodox congregations — we label the tradition we hold, not a language we have not verified.
Divine Liturgy is usually Sunday morning and often longer than a parish Mass. Dress and communion rules are stricter than in most Latin parishes; if you are visiting for the first time, arrive early and ask.
