Guards Chapel, Wellington Barracks, Military chapel in Westminster, United Kingdom
The Guards Chapel within Wellington Barracks presents a combination of Gothic Revival architecture with pointed arches and detailed stone carvings throughout its structure.
During World War II, a V-1 flying bomb struck the chapel during morning services on June 18, 1944, causing 121 deaths and 141 injuries.
The chapel functions as the central religious institution for the Household Division, conducting regular services and ceremonies for military personnel and their families.
The chapel opens its doors for Sunday services at 11:00 AM, with limited parking available near Wellington Barracks for authorized attendees.
The Flanders Fields Memorial Garden stands next to the chapel, containing soil from World War I battlefields to remember fallen Guardsmen.
