Queen'S Chapel

Queen's Chapel is a Grade I listed building located on Marlborough Road in the City of Westminster. It was built as a Catholic chapel, with construction beginning in 1623 and largely completed by 1626-27, designed by Inigo Jones. The chapel was later refurnished for Catherine of Braganza between 1662 and around 1680.

The structure is made of brick, rendered to resemble stone, and features Portland stone dressings and a slate roof. It has a plain rectangular shape with pedimented gable ends. There are three main windows: the center window is arched at the west end, while the east end has a broad Venetian window. The north and south sides have pedimented windows.

Inside, the chapel boasts a very fine interior, highlighted by an elliptical painted and gilded coffered vault. The furnishings are primarily from Sir Christopher Wren's time but include Jones's Royal Pew in the west gallery, which features a large chimneypiece, as well as the communion rail, also designed by Jones.
