St Pancras New Church, on the Euston Road in the north of Bloomsbury, was built 1819-1822 to replace St Pancras Old Church as the main church of the parish of St Pancras. The old church was deemed to be no longer suitable for the rapidly expanding city. The architect William Inwood won a competition to design what became the most expensive church to be built in London since St Paul's Cathedral was rebuilt. The church seats 2,500 people, and was built in the 'Greek Revival' style. It has been renovated and expanded (most recently in 1970 when the north chapel was added) but still retains its 19th-century feel.
