Old Chapel, New Context

By Carolineld @carolineld
The Middlesex Hospital chapel survived alone when the surrounding hospital was demolished. 

After some time in sad isolation, the chapel was recently restored and a development built up around it. Last year, there was a first chance to see the newly-splendid interior. (If you'd like to take a look, it now has fairly regular opening times.)

Work was still being done outside the chapel, but it's now complete. However, the fully-visible exterior looks less than comfortable in its new surroundings.



Equally incongruous is the renaming of the chapel. Despite the objections of many, its hospital history has been obscured by a new title: Fitzrovia Chapel.
