PIN Thomas Guy`s Hospital Chapel
An Oasis of Calm in Busy Southwalk
The beautiful 18th-century Chapel of Thomas Guy is opposite Boland House. As members of King`s College London, it is your Chapel, and is available for all.
It is a lovely, peaceful space for prayer, rest, and reflection. Candles and pens and paper to write your own prayers and suggestions for prayer, as well as copies of the Bible, are provided for your own devotion and use.
Two years ago a beautiful Icon of Jesus and Mary was commissioned, which forms the focus of devotional space to the left of the Chapel (on the organ side). Here, you may light your own candle and write your own prayers.
As the historic Chapel of Guy`s Hospital, it houses the tomb of Thomas Guy (which can be seen by arrangement with the Chaplain). It is also the resting place of Astley Paston Cooper, the 19th-century surgeon and scientist, and other characters connected with the rich history of Guy`s.
