St James's Church, Sussex Gardens is a glorious Victorian parish church, rich in original stained glass, monuments and fittings, and home to a lively and active community. Although the parish of Paddington is medieval, a church was first built on this site in 1843. It was substantially rebuilt by the illustrious Victorian architect GE Street, in a neo-Gothic style of unusual and generous breadth.
