King's College London Chapel, Gothic Revival chapel at Somerset House, London, England.

The King's College London Chapel features a Neo-Renaissance design with stained glass windows and ornate interior details on Level 2 of the King's Building.

Established in 1831 and reconstructed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in 1864, the chapel underwent modifications including the replacement of original windows with cathedral glass.

The chapel functions as a center for religious services, musical performances, and academic ceremonies throughout the year within King's College London.

Located above the Great Hall, visitors can access the Grade I listed chapel through a double staircase from the main building foyer during opening hours.

The reconstruction of the chapel in 1864 cost over £7,000 and transformed the space to reflect the architectural style of an ancient basilica.
