St. Paul's Church, Knightsbridge

St Paul’s Knightsbridge is an Anglican Church in London’s West End, supposed to be one of the most beautiful Victorian churches in London. Set in the heart of the Grosvenor Estate in Belgravia, the church dates from 1843.

The elaborate, highly decorated building was the first church in London to manifest the principles and ideals of the Oxford Movement. The building was consecrated in 1843, and the chancel with its rood screen and striking reredos was added in 1892 by the eminent church architect G.F. Bodley who decorated St Luke's Chapel.
