Church of St Joseph, Grade II* listed church in Highgate Hill, London
The Church of St Joseph features a substantial green copper dome visible across London and combines Romanesque and Byzantine architectural elements in its design.
The Passionist Congregation founded this religious institution in 1858, with the current structure opening in 1889 during Pope Leo XIII's Jubilee celebrations.
The sanctuary contains a high altar made of Sicilian marble, while the segmental vaulted ceiling displays 250 panels depicting angels and verses from Te Deum.
The church maintains regular religious services and connects with St Joseph's Catholic Primary School to provide educational support for local families.
The four-manual organ, constructed by William Hill & Sons in 1898, stands as a memorial to local residents who died during World War II.
