M. M.

most lovely church.it has fantastic church music in the background. many ttimes I have sit there praying in silence. love it. thank you.

U. A.

Very enigmatic rosicrucian Catholic church in the very centre of London adorned by the stunning and mysterious works of the eclectic 20th Century French artist J. Cocteau

M. a. D.

A nice litte jem in the middle of Leicester Square's huslte and bustle. The church is always opened - on day time. Dare to push the door, to have a look at Jean Cocteau's murals and at the tapestry behind the main altar. It's really worth a stop.

E. D.

Beautiful church ! Very peaceful and has stunning artwork by none other than the famous French artist Cocteau ! Very artistic place

T. N.

Serene meditation in the heart of the bustling entertainment district. Stunning Cocteau mural to your right.

This is a beautiful church. It celebrates mass I French and English. It is spacious, choirs sound amazing in here. There are a lot of private services here. It's a hidden gem and sanctuary in the middle of a chaotic, exciting and vibrant part of London. It has been a part of Leicester Square since the 1800's. One should remember the nature of what a church represents, one reviewer pointed out that a lot of "Africans and Homeless" go there. Are curches not open to all, especially the needy and all cultures regardless of backgrounds seeking sanctuary ? This is a perfect example of a church. Do visit, it definitely worth it.

W. V.

Originally built as an art gallery to display panoramas, a church is very suitable for it's subsequent purpose. Peaceful and calming in both circumstances!

S. G.

There was no service today first ever visit nice church, but only a few people where present not on a busy road nice and private.

An unexpected finding in the midst of London's west end. Five minute walk from the busy Leicester square you can escape the noise in the calmness of the Notre Dame de France interiors. Ambient light is coming from the many opennings of the main circular dome. The church interior is based on a circular structure. First thing that got my attention was the captivating tapestry hanging on top of the alter, created by famous tapestry artist Dom Robert. As you follow the pathway around the main sitting area you can see on your left the Jean-cocteau 'Our Lady's chapel' murals, three themes painted in his personal style. Continue looking around and you'll discover many more art works worth of your attention. Regardless if you are religious or not this is a very pleasant place to visit.

S. N.

Unusual circular interior and we always pop by to see the crib at Christmas, of course waiting until after December 25th to see the baby Jesus in-situ. There is a mural by Jean Cocteau and an elegantly simple interior space furnished in light oak and deco in style. Being so close to Leicester Square, it does have the odd down and out, but don't let that put you off a visit. Again it's a calm space near a frantic bit of London, so ideal for a moments quiet and recuperation.

P. L.

A hidden gem in the heart of London's Chinatown, the parish was founded in year 1861 by priests from the Society of Mary. The Lady Chapel within the building features murals from French artist Jean Cocteau. The dome is supported by 12 columns, symbolizing the 12 apostles. The Marian tapestry behind the altar by Benedictine monk Dom Robert depicts Mary as the New Eve.

There are a few gems I like to visit when in London. Notre Dame De France RC is one of them. Tucked away from view just off Leicester Square, you will not be disappointed with a visit here. I find it's simple beauty humbling.

A beautiful community church right in the middle of the Soho "jungle" thanks to the very welcoming and given Marists priests. Open everyday for community or personal prayer. Go in and visit if you pass by

J. C.

I go there for a few minutes of solace and prayer. You will realise the sadder side of London when you see homelessness inside the church - people seeking temporary refuge. I make it a point to visit it most times I'm in Leicester Square.

S. C.

An atmosphere of youth, freshness and spontaneity envelopes one on entering the church. The services are simple and beautiful. Jean Cocteau's chapel is full of post WWII optimism.

A. S.

A nice church - oasis is the right word. Unfortunately when I went it seemed to be a place for Africans and homeless people to sleep in, as such it was a bit weird and full of people snoring. Not saying they shouldn't be allowed in, but it's a church not a hostel and should be treated with some respect.

A. K.

Beautiful French church, with stunning art inside. There is a chapel that the famous painter Cocteau designed.

A. T.

Amazing place if you consider the mystery of the place. The wall painting now is behind the glass but still , knowing who is the author , makes super experience.

R. E.

Catholic church between Piccadilly circus and Leicester square. Attended a solemn mass in French.

M. N.

The Atmosphere Was Magical the Prayer Excellent but the Best was the Language I Do Love the French version of That Mass sincerely Someone Like you ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

P. B.

Place of the francophone community. Warm and open with a chapel decorated by the famous Jean Cocteau

M. L.

(Translated) The palace of tranquility and peace in busy Leicester square! Marvelous church 🙏 (Original) Le palais de tranquillité and peace in busy Leicester square! Marvellous church 🙏

(Translated) French Catholic parish in London. Praying Masses, celebrated by the Marist community, supported by a choir often of gospel inspiration (strong presence of the Ivorian community). Its location makes it a "welcoming" place for homeless people in the neighborhood ... who sometimes snore during mass while drinking their alcohol, not very pleasant ... but it is also the vocation of a church be open to everyone. In short: a mixed and warm parish. (Original) Paroisse catholique française de Londres. Messes priantes, célébrées par la communauté mariste, soutenues par une chorale souvent d'inspiration gospel (forte présence de la communauté ivoirienne). Son emplacement en fait un lieu "d'accueil" des sans-abris du quartier...qui parfois ronflent pendant la messe en cuvant leur alcool, pas très agréable...mais c'est aussi la vocation d'une église d'être ouverte à tous. En bref : une paroisse mélangée et chaleureuse.

A. P.

(Translated) Worth it if Jean Cocteau tells you something. (Original) De moeite waard als Jean Cocteau je iets zegt.

f. c.

(Translated) Three stars for the rather anonymous structure, many stars for the French songs, the whole firmament for the reception of some poor people who slept in the Church during the Mass ... What a warm embrace our Mother ... (Original) Tre stelle per la struttura abbastanza anonima, tante stelle per i canti francesi, tutto il firmamento per l'accoglienza di alcuni poveri che dormivano in Chiesa durante la Messa... Che caldo abbraccio la ns Madre...

(Translated) The chapel houses a modern fresco of great beauty, a work by Jean Cocteau reminiscent of the Sistine Chapel. Michelangelo had painted in Rome in 1512 Don Biagio da Cesena naked with donkey ears, in London Jean Cocteau represented himself in 1959 in the guise of the Agnus Dei. (Original) La chapelle abrite une fresque moderne d'une très grande beauté, œuvre de Jean Cocteau qui rappelle celle de la chapelle Sixtine. Michel-Ange y avait peint à Rome en 1512 Don Biagio da Cesena nu avec des oreilles d'âne, à Londres, Jean Cocteau s'est représenté lui même en 1959 sous les traits de l'Agnus Dei.
