St Luke's Church, Chelsea, Gothic Revival church in Chelsea, England
The church features stone vaults supported by flying buttresses, constructed with Bath stone and designed to accommodate 2,500 people inside its walls.
Commissioned in 1819 and completed in 1824, St Luke's Church was among the first Gothic Revival churches built in London under the Church Building Act.
Charles Dickens married Catherine Hogarth at this church in 1836, two days after publishing the first part of his Pickwick Papers.
Located on Sydney Street near King's Road, the church maintains regular worship services and operates a food bank that serves 125 guests weekly.
The church contains one of the earliest complete stone-groined roofs of its period, setting it apart from other London churches of the time.
