Welcome to the Grand Junction digital guide
Whether you’re a history buff, a curious local or just love beautiful spaces, this guide is your companion to exploring the fascinating story of St Mary Magdalene’s Church in Paddington. We invite you to wander through this stunning Grade I Gothic Revival church, designed by George Edmund Street in the late 19th century and discover its past and present in an engaging and interactive way.
Discover how the building has been lovingly restored, spot the hidden details and explore architecture, art, stained glass and intricate designs at your own pace. You will encounter interactive characters from the building’s past, zoomable images, selfie filters, music and archival snapshots. Let’s unlock the rich heritage of St Mary Magdalene’s Church together – in a way that’s personal, playful and totally immersive.
The Digital Guide was developed by Zubr in collaboration with Grand Junction and a dedicated team of heritage volunteers.

Some stops have ‘augmented reality’ – a character who appears in the room and tells you about the building, a filter that puts a saint’s crown on your head, historic photographs laid over the streets outside. Those stops will ask for your camera. Headphones are worth having.
