St John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church, Harringay

St John the Baptist is on Wightman Road in Harringay. It was built in 1896 to 1898 by James Brooks and Son as the church of St Peter, became a Greek Orthodox church in 1983, and is Grade II* listed.

The listing describes a plain exterior that belies the richness of the interior, and it is right. Inside, under the timber roof, almost every wall is painted with icons by Eleftherios Foulides, and the gilded icon screen and chandeliers came from Greece.

I've photographed weddings and christenings here since 2011. Flash is almost always allowed in Greek Orthodox churches, so I can photograph the whole service.
