About Us
The Indian Orthodox Church London
St. George’s Indian Orthodox Church conducts its weekly Sunday services at St. Margaret Pattens Church on Rood Lane in London. The Indian Orthodox community has been active in London since the 1970s, previously holding Holy Eucharist ceremonies at St. Andrew-by-the-Wardrobe Church near Blackfriars every Sunday.
The St George’s Indian Orthodox Church, London is a church under the UK, Europe, and Africa Diocese of the Malankara Orthodox Syrian Church of India.

Serving our London community fills us with immense pride and honor as we uphold the tradition of service dating back to the 1970s.
