St Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church, Gothic Revival church in Kensington, London
The exterior features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, while two stained glass windows illuminate the interior spaces of the church.
Originally built as St John's Presbyterian Church in 1863, the building was purchased and converted into St Mark's Coptic Orthodox Church in 1975.
The church displays narrative icons including a large representation of Saint Mark's martyrdom, reflecting traditional Coptic Orthodox religious art.
Religious services are conducted in both English and Arabic languages, with one morning liturgy Tuesday through Saturday and two services on Sundays.
This establishment holds the distinction of being the first Coptic Orthodox church in Europe, consecrated by Pope Shenouda III in 1979.
