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.
Chapel, Chase Farm Hospital, The Ridgeway, Gordon Hill
Built in 2019 to replace the rundown 19th century with later additions buildings on the same site. The multi-faith worship area is on the 1st floor and apart from an altar, lectern and tabernacle has little to show.
Chapel, North Middlesex Hospital, Sterling Way, Edmonton
A bit larger than some modern hospital chapels but with no major features. It is in the Pymmes Building built in 1988.
The Greek Orthodox Community of Ss. Raphael, Nicholas and Irene, Hertford Road, Enfield EN3 5JE (formerly Hertford Road Cemetery Chapel)
The small cemetery chapel in Hertford Road cemetery, just behind the churchyard of St James, Enfield Wash. Before being used by the Greek Orthodox Church it was boarded up for many years. The cemetery was opened in 1880 so it seems likely that the chapel is of the same date.
St Paul, Church Hill, Winchmore Hill
Not far from the station, and rather hidden in trees, this is a very wide church of 1826-27 by John Davies. The original chancel was very short but a new larger one was added in 1889 along with vestries.
