Notre Dame de France, French Catholic church at Leicester Place in London, United Kingdom.
The circular structure of Notre Dame de France features Gothic Revival elements with cast-iron construction methods and contains murals within its Lady Chapel.
The building started as Burford's Panorama entertainment venue until Father Charles Faure acquired it in 1865 for conversion into a French Catholic church.
Jean Cocteau created artistic murals inside the church while Georges-Laurent Saupique produced a bas relief carving above the main entrance.
The church maintains regular Catholic services in French and English, offering religious support to London's French community north of Leicester Square.
The church withstood damage during the 1940 Battle of Britain bombings and underwent reconstruction with support from the French Ambassador and British Prime Minister.
