Cathedral of St George, Church Street, Enfield (Romanian Orthodox)

On the edge of the town centre, this was built as St Paul’s Presbyterian Church in 1901. It remained with the United Reformed Church on amalgamation in 1972 and was later used as a community hall called St Paul’s Centre. In 2023 it was acquired from the URC by the Romanian Orthodox church to become their principal church in the UK.

St Mary Magdalene, Enfield

A late William Butterfield church of 1883. It sits on a hilltop above Enfield and near the Ridgeway. The chancel was decorated in 1897 with designs by Nathaniel Westlake and Charles Buckeridge. It was restored in 2012 and presents a great contrast with the rather plain nave.  Much of the stained glass was designed by Butterfield and made by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.
