The Garrison Chapel
The King’s Foundation occupies the Grade II-listed Garrison Chapel in the former Chelsea Barracks to publicly exhibit elements of our work.
About The Garrison Chapel
At the heart of London’s Chelsea Barracks development, nestled just behind the creatively vibrant Pimlico Road, sits The Garrison Chapel; the last remaining building of the original 19th-century complex.
Our exhibitions at The Garrison Chapel have a particular emphasis on traditional arts and heritage craft skills, in addition to a number of special exhibitions and events.
Our events, classes and functions are widely accessible for all to encourage connectivity in the community – ensuring the Chapel continues to play a pivotal role in the neighbourhood and beyond.
