Chapel A glorious neoclassical Chapel

Enjoy the calm of the neo-classical Chapel, the last major part of the Royal Hospital for Seamen to be completed in 1751.

In 1779 the Chapel survived a devastating fire. James ‘Athenian’ Stuart was appointed to re-design its interior and it has remained unaltered ever since.

Admire the Chapel’s intricate plasterwork ceiling and take a closer look at the Samuel Green organ. Its superb acoustics make the Chapel an ideal space for concerts, services and recitals.
