Church of St Yeghiche, South Kensington, Armenian church in South Kensington, England
The Church of St Yeghiche is a religious building in South Kensington with a stone facade facing Cranley Gardens. The structure features tall windows and architectural details characteristic of Victorian church design from the 19th century.
The building was originally constructed in 1867 as an Anglican church known as St Peter's. It was repurposed for Armenian Orthodox worship after becoming redundant in the mid-1970s.
The congregation celebrates Armenian liturgical traditions through services held in their own language. This place serves as an important spiritual center for the Armenian community across Britain.
The location sits easily accessible in a residential neighborhood south of Kensington Gardens. Sundays mornings are the best time to visit when services are held and the community is active.
The building underwent major renovation in the late 1990s to adapt it for Armenian Orthodox ceremonies. This modernization respected its Grade II* listed status while completely transforming the interior and liturgical arrangements.
