Here, among marble tombs and weathered inscriptions, the story of London’s Greek diaspora is written not in archives alone, but in stone. As part of the Greekscapes project, our work in the enclosure focuses on heritage recording — documenting...]]></description><link>https://www.greekscapes.org/post/greekscapes-of-west-norwood</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69cbb4fc23cd03993477bd5e</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Mar 2026 12:02:37 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b33b29_01a10ea89add480a88c0720369fd6916~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Konstantinos Trimmis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[St Sophia's Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Bayswater— Divine Wisdom and a wet October's afternoon]]></title><description><![CDATA[We visited St Sophia’s in mid-October 2026. Outside, Bayswater moved with its usual rhythm; traffic along Moscow Road, the slow drift of people towards Hyde Park. Inside, however, there was near silence. The cathedral was empty. No congregation. No priest at the solea. Only Byzantine chanting, flowing gently from unseen speakers. The sound seemed to hover beneath the dome, unmoored from visible chanters, filling the vast interior with a liturgical presence that felt both ancient and strangely...]]></description><link>https://www.greekscapes.org/post/exploring-the-greek-heritage-of-london</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a02db3d8a282e20cc1f3be</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2026 11:25:39 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b33b29_34560c89475e43da93dce3831dc758f1~mv2.jpeg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Konstantinos Trimmis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Greek Neighbourhoods in London: An evening stroll at Myddleton Road, Wood Green]]></title><description><![CDATA[Tucked between Bowes Park and Wood Green, Myddleton Road  is one of those rare London high streets where layers of history still feel tangible. Named after Sir Hugh Myddelton, the visionary behind the New River that brought fresh water into London in the 1600s, the road developed in the late Victorian period as a bustling local parade of shops serving a growing suburban population. But beyond its architectural charm and independent-shop revival, Myddleton Road is also part of a quieter,...]]></description><link>https://www.greekscapes.org/post/greek-neighborhoods-in-london-a-cultural-journey</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a02db18133563068caa8cf</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2026 11:25:37 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b33b29_b3fa878122cf405b8031c8577536d4bd~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Konstantinos Trimmis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Exploring the Heritage of the Greek Diaspora in London.]]></title><description><![CDATA[London’s Greek presence is layered, complex and ongoing. It stretches from the 19th-century merchant families who built monumental churches in the West End, to post-war and post-1974 Greek-Cypriot arrivals in north London, to contemporary students, artists and professionals reshaping what diaspora means today. Greekscapes  exists to record, interpret and share that heritage. Our project approaches Greek London not as a static community, but as a living cultural landscape — a Greekscape  —...]]></description><link>https://www.greekscapes.org/post/preserving-greek-history-in-the-uk-and-europe</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69a02dac9d12939841954940</guid><pubDate>Thu, 26 Feb 2026 11:25:32 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/b33b29_9cb465c5fe714f9ab0dd3a9ea7256e91~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Konstantinos Trimmis</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
