Metropolitan Tabernacle
Metropolitan Tabernacle, Baptist church in Southwark, England.
The Metropolitan Tabernacle features Greek Revival architecture with a grand sanctuary designed to accommodate large congregations within its stone walls.
Established in 1861, the current structure represents the third building iteration following reconstructions in 1957 after facing severe damage during World War II.
The church maintains a traditional approach to Baptist worship, with regular gospel sermons and biblical teaching sessions conducted throughout the week.
The Tabernacle includes a bookshop offering reformed Christian literature and hosts multiple weekly services with translation facilities for international visitors.
The building's original 1861 design incorporated specific acoustic engineering principles to allow 6,000 attendees to hear clearly without electronic amplification.
