The Queens Chapel Of The Savoy (London)

United Kingdom / England / London / Savoy Hill, 2
The Chapel is the last surviving building of a hospital founded by Henry VII for homeless people in 1512. It stands on the area of London known as the Savoy.

The Chapel belongs to Her Majesty The Queen in Her Right as Duke of Lancaster. It is a 'free' chapel or 'peculiar' not falling within any bishop's jurisdiction, but remaining firmly within the Church of England.

The Chapel remains an important part of the Savoy Estate, the Duchy of Lancaster's principal London land holding. It continues to provide spiritual service to the community, as it has done for nearly 500 years.
