Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile
Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile, Ukrainian Catholic cathedral in City of Westminster, England
The Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family in Exile is a church built from red brick with beige terracotta details, designed by architect Alfred Waterhouse. The interior features an oval-shaped nave and a distinct tower rising from the south-west corner.
The building was constructed in 1891 by Alfred Waterhouse for a Protestant congregation called King's Weigh House and served as their meeting place. In 1967, the Ukrainian Catholic community took over the building and has used it as their cathedral since then.
The cathedral displays the work of both British and Ukrainian artists: a Ukrainian monk created the iconostasis with traditional religious imagery, while Robert Anning Bell designed the colored glass windows on the east side. These artworks show how British and Ukrainian traditions come together in one space.
The cathedral sits on Binney Street near Oxford Street and is accessible by public transport from various directions. It holds regular services throughout the week, giving visitors opportunities to see the interior during worship times.
The cathedral bears the artistic mark of a Ukrainian monk named Juvenalij Mokrytsky, whose workshop created traditional religious artwork for the space. His handcrafted creations remain visible in the detailed artwork throughout the interior today.
