Orthodox Church of St. Athanasios

It is soothing to know there is a place available that connects you to the faith, above and beyond borders and nations; a place to feel at home away from home, spiritually nourished and at peace. Thank you for making this possible.

Church is a beautiful place but the choral singers are dramatic and for those who knows byzantine music are completely wrong performers. So sad for not letting young people to enter to the choir due to the closed team they want to keep it for their selves. Church management should look at this matter more carefully and not close their ears and eyes. Unless they want a private church just for a few and not for all Christian's.

The choral singing was wonderful but the service was over-extended. The scheduled time was 09.30 - 12.10. It didn't finish until about 12.45 - not for the faint-hearted. We didn't go in to the church until after 11.00 and this is an accepted practice. The Holy Communion or Eucharist was given as the last order of business so parishioners who arrived late did not miss out if they wanted to participate.

Beautiful architecture lovely grounds with a very warm welcoming parish. No loo.

:) First of all that was my 1st visit to Orthodox Church here in the UK so found it quite different from traditional Russian ones. There were rows of benches.
The most important that even though the day when my visit happened in October 2020 ...that special Year. That day also been Sunday communion. It was crowded but people was so patient ,calm , helpful and friendly!!!!!!!

Good directions, wish there was options (important for EV drivers) for fastest, most economic on kWh, shortest etc

As a resident of Harshel Court opposite the Church it's more than frustrating that churchgoers feel they can park on the court because they can't find a parking space. We have raised this with the church on numerous occasions who assure us this wouldn't happen, but still does. Perhaps update your website and educate people attending...the area is resident permit parking and Harshel Court is private parkinq for residents and their visitors.

If you need to go there there is off street parking there is a hall at the back I think you can hire.
