The Cathedral of St Andrew the Apostle is a Greek Orthodox Cathedral under the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople in Kentish Town, London.[4] The Cathedral belongs to the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Thyateira and Great Britain, headed by Archbishop Nikitas Loulias.[1][5]
History
[edit]The cathedral was built between 1884–85 to a design by Ewan Christian as a church for the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, originally dedicated to Saint Barnabas the Apostle. In 1957, the cathedral began to be used by the Greek Orthodox Church and later became the Greek Orthodox Cathedral of Saint Andrew the Apostle, after it was purchased with help from the Papathomas family of Cyprus.[6]
The building is a Grade II listed building.[7]
