Overview

Sjømannskirken i London is a Norwegian Church in Rotherhithe, London S16.

This Norwegian church in London was consecrated in 1927.

It holds a special place in Norwegian hearts as a central point of resistance to the Nazi occupation of the country during World War II. After fleeing to London King Haakon VII regularly made defiant radio broadcasts to his occupied nation from the Albion Street church, which was rewarded with Grade II status in 1947.
