St Mary Abbots, located on Kensington High Street at the corner of Kensington Church Street in London, is a Church of England church rebuilt in 1872 to designs by Sir George Gilbert Scott. The architect combined neo-Gothic and early-English Gothic Revival styles in the structure, which is distinguished by having the tallest spire in London. The present building represents the latest in a succession of churches occupying the site since the early 12th century. Both the church and its railings are Grade II* listed buildings.
