'''Syro-Malabar Catholic Church of London''' is a church in [[Arnos Grove]], North London. It is part of the [[Syro-Malabar Catholic Church]], the largest denomination of the [[Saint Thomas Christians]], based mainly in India. It is estimated that there are 55,000 Indian Catholics in the UK.<br />
<br />
The church in London was first established in 2002 by the initiative of Fr. Biju john Kochuparampil, and was officially recognised by the three [[Catholic]] [[Dioceses]] in 2005. The new Coordinator of the church is Rev.Dr. Thomas Parayadyil.<br />
<br />
The Syro-Malabar Church London was founded with the initiative of Rev. Fr. Biju John. Though he was staying in Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Newsouthgate, he was initiated a process of spiritual renewal among the Syro-Malabar Catholics living in the UK (who is been migrating from Kerala to the United Kingdom). Then there was only a very few priests from the Syro-Malabar church living in the UK. With the help of some lay leaders he established around 52 communities in the UK for the Syro-Malabar Church. Rev. Fr. Biju John resigned his post as the first co-ordinator of the Syro-Malabar church, he even sacrificed his place of residence for the future co-ordinator. After his resignation the church in London was looked after by four priests of the same rite.<br />
