CHURCH OF ST NICHOLAS OF JAPAN
Nestled in Brixton is a tiny white church with a shimmering gold interior, named after Saint Nicholas of Japan. Nicholas was a Russian missionary who took the teachings of Orthodox Christianity to
Japan at a time when the religion was outlawed there. The congregation of the church is small but includes people from Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe and the service is conducted in the languages of all people present. The interior is decorated with Byzantine iconography of angels and the madonna and child, all painted by South African artists.
