Published by Hoxton Mini Press in 2020, Katie Waggett’s Sunday Best is a photographic study of religious life in London, shaped around the people who practise it. The book brings together portraits of individuals wearing colourful religious dress, personal statements about what faith means to them, and photographs of worship interiors. Its subject is therefore both personal and civic: belief is presented through lived experience, while London appears as a city whose character depends on the coexistence of different traditions.

The book surveys six major religions represented in the capital—Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Sikhism. Waggett’s approach is intimate rather than institutional. Clothing, expression, quotation, and architectural space work together, allowing the portraits to retain their individuality while placing them within a wider social landscape. The resulting contrast between the close presence of the sitter and the shared public context gives the project its particular force.

Sunday Best also belongs to a specific moment: it was conceived in the wake of a terror attack and in opposition to growing isolationism and separatist rhetoric. Yet its argument is made through attention rather than polemic. Colour, testimony, and the varied interiors of places of worship become means of showing diversity as an ordinary, human reality. The book’s affirmative tone is consequently grounded in encounters with people, not in abstraction.

For collectors, its interest lies in the clarity of this editorial structure and in the balance between portraiture, first-person voice, and documentary observation. At 160 pages, the English-language hardcover offers a sustained account rather than a brief visual statement, preserving a record of London’s religious plurality through a closely focused photographic collaboration led by Waggett. It is a considered book about faith, belonging, and the social fabric of the city.
