Our Lady of Victories, Catholic church in Kensington High Street, England.
Our Lady of Victories is a Catholic church on Kensington High Street with a five-bay nave structure, flat-roofed aisles, and tall windows designed by architect Adrian Gilbert Scott in 1959. The building combines contemporary design principles with a clear internal layout.
The original church was built in 1869 and served as Westminster's pro-cathedral until 1902. German bombing destroyed the building in 1940, but it was rebuilt after the war as a modern structure.
The interior displays Hornton stone dados and stained glass windows from the 1950s that reflect postwar design thinking. These features shape how the worship space looks and feels today.
The church sits directly on Kensington High Street and is easy to find and access on foot. Regular mass services take place here, and community facilities are located beneath the main worship area.
The entrance screen from the 1930s survived wartime destruction and remains integrated into the current Grade II listed building. This remnant from the original church connects the location's past with its modern form.
