We have seen the growth of two Christian churches, but not every denomination is flourishing. In fact, many traditional denominations such as Catholicism are in decline. However, in some pockets of London, the Catholic faith is still vibrant, as we discovered on the 13th floor of a tower block in Hoxton.
The small flat which doubles up as a chapel is home to the Little Sisters of Jesus, an international group of nuns whose community was founded in 1939 by Sister Magdeleine Hutin.
