St Andrew Bobola Polish Church, Gothic Revival Catholic church in Shepherd's Bush, England.
St Andrew Bobola Church is a Catholic church in Gothic Revival style located in Shepherd's Bush, featuring pointed arches, steep roofs, and ornate stonework. The building displays traditional architectural elements that give it a distinctive and solemn appearance.
The building began as a Presbyterian church constructed in 1870 and converted to a Catholic parish in 1961. This transformation occurred due to the arrival of Polish communities who settled in London following World War II.
The church serves as a gathering place for the Polish community in West London and reflects their spiritual life and connections to their homeland. Visitors can see how the space embodies the faith and memory of those who built their lives here.
The church holds regular services in both Polish and English, welcoming visitors during open hours. The interior contains numerous memorial plaques and decorative details that reward closer inspection during a visit.
The Lady Chapel holds an image of Our Lady of Kozielsk that received a papal crown blessing from Pope John Paul II in 1997. This sacred object creates a direct link between the church and the highest authority of the Catholic faith.
