Hi Lillie, we too went to the carol service at St Pauls and it was great. Lovely choir and very welcoming. But if you're looking for something more gospel-y, you could try that Gospel Centre on Wightman Road at the top of Raleigh Road. I've never been, but judging by the name....
Merry Christmas, whatever you choose to do.

Yes The Gospel Centre services are Pentacostal style.
Another possibility is St James, at the top of Muswell Hill.

I somehow knew, John, that you don't cross the road to the Pentagon of a Sunday.

The Catholic Pedant in me wants to suggest, after the fashion of the late C.E.M. Joad of the late Brains Trust, "it all depends on what you mean by 'MASS'." The Rev'd Eric J. Lobsinger with Midnight Mass at St Paul's comes nearest the mark. But if it's Gospel Singers making merry rather than Lobsingers offering or even celebrating Mass you want, that would be a different question, and possibly a different parish or even borough. Every Mass is, of course, a Gospel type Mass in that it's the centrepiece of the Good News and gives prominence to the Gospel reading - though not, perhaps, very gospel-y!. How Wightman Road's original patrons, Paul and Peter, or even the later recently deceased Augustine of Canterbury & Mattison, would define 'Mass' is a another question for a later Brains Trust. But since these islands have spent 2015 successfully redefining 'Marriage' to wild cheering and widespread applause, maybe in 2016 we can tackle those three old chestnuts - 'Mass', 'Christmas' and 'Midnight' - and redefine them equally successfully and to the general satisfaction of the, er, masses in good time for next Christmas Eve.
