The Sanctuary, Royal London Hospital Chapel, Whitechapel Road, Whitechapel
A small room with little decoration that serves as the non-denominational Christian chapel at the hospital. The building that is in was designed by HOK and built 2006-2016.
Chapel, Queens Hospital, Rom Valley Way, Romford
On the first floor, overlooking the atrium, of this modern hospital. It is a small irregularly shaped room with an altar and some coloured glass in the only windows. The hospital was built between 2004-2006 and was designed by Jonathan Bailey Associates.
Royal Free Hospital Chapel, Pond Street, Hampstead
On the lower ground floor, it was built 1968-1975 as part of the move of the hospital to Hampstead. The architects were Watkins Gray Woodgate International.
Charing Cross Hospital Chapel, Fulham Palace Road, Hammersmith
In the south wing on the ground floor, it is part of the redevelopment of 1973 by Ralph Tubbs. The 3rd and 4th stained glass windows (chapel entrance) were designed by John Piper and made by Patrick Reyntiens, the first two in the sanctuary are by Alfred Fisher.
St Mary’s Hospital Chapel, Praed Street, Paddington
On the 1st floor of the Mary Stanford wing. I assume it dates from Sir William Emerson’s extensions of 1904?
St Luke’s Chapel, Kings College Hospital, Denmark Hill
A chapel on the first floor of the Cheyne Wing. It was built to replace an older chapel, from which the stained glass windows in the nave and some of the memorials come. It was designed by W.A. Pite and built in 1913.
Chapel, Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, Holborn
This is the chapel of the world-famous children’s hospital in central London. The chapel was designed by Edward Barry in 1876 as part of the original buildings. It was moved in 1994 to be next to new buildings from 1991-1993. It is richly decorated with marble, alabaster, wall paintings and stained glass by Clayton & Bell, all combine to create a stunning miniature church. It cannot be seen from outside the hospital but is behind and to the left of the main reception.
St David’s Home Chapel, Castlebar Hill, Ealing, W5 1TE
A care and rehabilitation home founded after WW1 and run by a Roman Catholic order until 2002. The chapel is just inside the gates. It was built by A.S.G. Butler in 1919
Chapel (former), Mount Vernon Hospital, Rickmansworth Road, Northwood
Mount Vernon Hospital was build as a Consumption (TB) hospital in 1902-1904 and designed by Frederick Wheeler, In 1905 this free standing arts and crafts style chapel was added a short way from the main building. After disuse in the 1960s it was converted to the Fowler Scott Cancer Research Library in 1988 by Bill Miller Associates, before becoming the home to the Gray Cancer Research Laboratory’s lecture theatre. They vacated it in 2009 and it has been disused since. The wooden screen with a list of chaplains and the opening details was visible through some damaged windows at the south-east end in May 2021, by Early June 2021 the windows had been repaired and covered with a metal mesh. It is listed Grade2* but its future use is not decided. Descriptions of the interior suggest that, at least, originally it had sumptuous fittings.
Nearby at one end of the main hospital block is a building labelled as the viewing chapel which in style suggests that it was another slightly earlier chapel, one stained glass window is visible from outside. A few images are at the end of this set. It would seem likely that this was a mortuary chapel rather than a worship space.
