St Mary Magdalene is thought to be the church that inspired the composer
John Ireland to become an Anglo-Catholic. The novelist
Barbara Pym was a member of the congregation in 1971–72, while living in Queen's Park.
P. D. James is thought to have used the church as a model for one of the locations in her novel
A Taste for Death. The church and surrounding neighbourhood were used as a location in the 1968 movie
Secret Ceremony with
Elizabeth Taylor. Scenes from the 2012 film of
Les Misérables were also filmed there.
