One Space, Kidbrooke Park Road, Kidbrooke
One Space is a Christian community centre on the edge of the Kidbrooke Village development. The building has a cafe and hall as well as offices. Several religious groups use the hall and the Anglican church has used the cafe (illustrated) as Kidbrooke Village Church for services. Currently, Messy Church (March 2019) seems to be the only Anglican event here.

Chapel, Royal Naval Hospital, Greenwich
Part of the Queen Mary block of the hospital, it is a major work planned by Christopher Wren but construction was delayed and dates from 1735-1743. The chapel is entered up a high curved staircase from an entrance area that contains most of the monuments in the chapel. The interior was severely fire damaged and rebuilt by James Stuart in 1779-1789 in his Greek style.
