π¬π§ Hidden Gem in Kensington: The Baroque Beauty Next to V&A β¨
On a lazy weekend stroll from Hyde Park to South Kensington, a magnificent dome caught my eye... and what a discovery awaited! βοΈ The London Oratory Church London's finest Baroque-style Catholic church 61m tall dome (wider space beneath than St Paul's!) Drenched in golden afternoon light through stained glass π Why It Stole My Heart: β¨ Opulent interiors: Marble columns, 17th-century saint statues β¨ Gilded everything: Altars, mosaics, wood/stone carvings β¨ Sacred serenity: That magical light on the high altar! π Right beside V&A Museum - Perfect for a culture double-bill! Pro Tip: Visit at 3-5pm when sunlight transforms it into a divine light show π #LondonArchitecture #HiddenLondon #BaroqueBeauty #ChurchHopping #KensingtonGems
