St Dominic's Priory Church, Catholic church in Camden, England.

St Dominic's Priory Church is a stone structure built in English Gothic style, featuring fourteen side chapels that represent successive Rosary Mysteries with the final Mystery shown in the apse. The building's design reflects careful planning to guide visitors through these spiritual themes as they move through the interior space.

Construction began in 1883 under architects Gilbert Blount and Charles Alban Buckler, with completion in 1890. The building emerged during a period of growth for Dominican religious communities establishing themselves across London.

The church serves as a Dominican community hub where the order's spiritual practices shape the rhythm of daily worship and prayer. Visitors encounter the living presence of monastic tradition through the services and activities that unfold within its stone walls.

The church opens daily for services, with a Catholic primary school located on the grounds. Visitors should be aware that dress codes and behavioral expectations apply during worship times, especially during weekend services.

A World War I memorial tablet inside features carved lettering by renowned artist Eric Gill, using stone sourced from French battlefields. This tribute combines the craftsmanship of a celebrated sculptor with remembrance of those lost in the conflict.
