Who we are

We are one of the very few Orthodox parishes in London regularly serving in English and the only one where the Divine Liturgy is offered in English every Sunday.

Our parishioners come from diverse backgrounds and cultures. We are young in spirit, lively and multicultural, eager to welcome both Orthodox — cradle or convert — and enquirers. So please, come along! After the service, we all share a communal meal in the adjacent parish hall, after which Fr. Alexander instructs those preparing to join the Orthodox Church and anyone interested in learning more about the faith.

St. Botolph's is a parish of the Orthodox Church based in central London. We are part of the Antiochian Orthodox Christian Archdiocese of the British Isles and Ireland. Divine Liturgy is celebrated every Sunday at 11am, preceded by abbreviated Orthros at 10:30am.

All our services are in English.

Everyone is welcome at our services and may receive the blessed bread (antidoron) as well as a blessing at the end of the service, but only Orthodox Christians may receive Holy Communion.

Any additional services or changes in our schedule will be announced in the parish newsletter.

Leader Bio:
Fr. Alexander comes from Toronto, Canada. He has lived in London for over ten years. As a child, he attended the Orthodox Church but was not baptised until his twenties. Thus, he speaks to both 'cradle' and 'convert'. Fr. Alexander has taught the Orthodox faith for over twenty-five years.

Graduating from St. Tikhon's Seminary in Pennsylvania, he was ordained a deacon in the Orthodox Church in America (OCA). Coming to England to pursue doctoral research, he was appointed a tutor and later chaplain of the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies, Cambridge. Upon transfer from the OCA to Antioch, he was ordained to the priesthood by Metropolitan Kallistos (Ware).

Currently, he is the Assistant to the Dean of the Antiochian Orthodox Archdiocese of the British Isles and Ireland, the Theological Advisor to its Ordination Committee, and Chaplain of the Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies in Cambridge. Fr. Alexander is the author of a doctoral thesis on phyletism, the heretical notion of a national church.   Edit

We are a walking distance from Caledonian Road, which is only one stop away from King's Cross, one of the most accessible travel hubs in London.

Only slightly futher than the tube, Caledonian Road & Barnsbury is still walking distance, but also offers an easy transfer to the 153 bus.

Several buses frequent Holloway Road and you can ride the 43, 263, 271 or 393 to the Liverpool Road stop and walk from there, or change to the 153 bus and disembark right outside the church building at the Westbourne Road / Jupiter Way stop.   Edit
