Exploring London: Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Sophia

London - the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of the Divine Wisdom (Hagia Sophia), the interior. Let's travel to the city of London and let's visit the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Hagia Sophia (Saint Sophia) which is a Greek Orthodox church on Moscow Road in the Bayswater area of London. Hagia Sophia was consecrated as the Church of the Holy Wisdom on 5 February 1882 in London by Antonios, Metropolitan of Corfu, as a focus for the prosperous Greek community that had settled in London, particularly around Paddington, Bayswater and Notting Hill. Today, in addition to its regular Saturday and Sunday services, the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Sophia hosts a Greek polyphonic choir, Byzantine music, and an associated school in which pupils discover the history and language of Greece and take Greek dancing lessons.
The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Hagia Sophia in London has a Greek cross plan, with four projecting arms forming a nave, transepts and sanctuary, the latter facing facing north; to the south is a narthex with gallery above, to the east a vestry. A crypt runs beneath the eastern portion of the building.
The Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Hagia Sophia (Saint Sophia) is a Byzantine Revival design by architect John Oldrid Scott. Scott was responsible for many significant British churches, and was subsequently commissioned by Ralli to build St Stephen's Greek Orthodox Chapel in West Norwood Cemetery in 1873.
