Corpus Christi, Covent Garden - a photo on Flickriver

This is the nave and chancel of Corpus Christi Roman Catholic church in Covent Garden, London. The church was built in 1873-4, but major renovation work completed in 2018 has transformed the semi-gothic interior.

Not least is the sanctuary, where the higher sections of the walls were painted dark blue and powdered with gold stars. The result is quite breathtaking.

The church also hosts a shrine to Carlo Acutis, a London-born boy who died at the age of 15 and is set to be proclaimed a saint.
