St Jude's Church, Hampstead Garden Suburb, Grade I listed Anglican church in Hampstead Garden Suburb, England.
St Jude's Church is an Anglican church in Hampstead Garden Suburb designed by the renowned architect Edwin Lutyens. The building features barrel-vaulted ceilings and a prominent tower, with a spacious interior structured around a central nave.
Construction began in 1909 as part of Henrietta Barnett's vision for a model suburb, and the church was consecrated in 1911. It represents the ideals of the garden city movement that shaped communities during the early 20th century.
The church was designed to be the heart of the suburban community and continues to serve as a gathering place for residents today. It hosts regular concerts and community events that shape the rhythm of neighborhood life.
The church is accessible to visitors and welcomes people during regular services and community events held throughout the year. The neighborhood offers good transport links and parking options, making it easy to reach for exploration on foot.
The interior holds a striking memorial dedicated to horses killed during World War I, created by artist Rosemary Proctor in the 1970s. This unusual remembrance of animal losses sets the church apart from typical war memorials found in most places of worship.
