St Patrick's Church, Waterloo, Roman Catholic church near Waterloo Station, London, United Kingdom
St. Patrick's Church is a Victorian building with Romanesque design features located near Waterloo Station. It has three narrow bays on its main elevation, with a chapel on the upper floor and a school occupying the lower level.
The building was designed in 1897 by Frederick Walters, though the final construction differed from his original plans. Early designs included a tower and different floor arrangements that were not carried through to completion.
The facade displays artful lettering with shamrock motifs that blend religious and Irish heritage elements. These decorations shape the building's appearance and reflect the importance of the Irish community to this place.
The building is easily reached on foot from Waterloo Station and hosts services several times a week. Access is straightforward and the interior layout is clearly organized.
The church is run by Franciscan friars who maintain their only friary in London at this location. This place also serves as the administrative center for the religious community across Britain.
