St James' Roman Catholic Church

Catholic church in Marylebone. On the list of historical buildings and monuments it is described as a class II monument. It dates from 1890 and was designed before Edward Goldie.

The church is maintained in the Gothic style, with beautiful stained glass windows and a floor covered with golden mosaic. The main entrance is a copy of the main entrance to Lichfield Cathedral. The presbytery, with a high arch and apse decorated with a mosaic made in the opus sectile technique, is one of the most artistic in London. In one of the naves on the right is a marble statue of the church's patron, Saint. Jacob. Opposite is the statue of the Mother of God, called the Golden Lady. It was created in 1840 and is considered the second religious statue created in London after the Reformation. The organs located in the church come from 1922 and are the best example of the talent of their creator, Alfred Hunter.

It is often called the Spanish Place because the origins of the church are related to the Spanish embassy, which supported English Catholics during their persecution and gave them use of one of the chapels located on George Street.
