Hyde Park Chapel on Exhibition Road

The church acquired the bombsite of 64–68 Princes Gate in South Kensington which had been destroyed in The Blitz in July 1944. Construction of the building was completed on 26 February 1961 at a cost £300,000 (equivalent to nearly £9 million in 2026) and took 16 months. It was refurbished in 1995 and renovated prior to the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.

The church is built from reinforced concrete with a Portland stone facade. The main building is four stories in height with a six-story tower. The west face of the tower has a 75-foot spire covered in gold leaf. A stained-glass window in the dalle de verre style designed by Pierre Fourmaintraux and made in the Whitefriars Studio is situated beneath the spire.

The building houses a family history research centre, a recreation hall and a visitor centre in addition to the chapel. The ground floor has the chapel, baptismal font, and cultural hall. The chapel features the second concert organ to have been built in London since the Second World War. The Christus is situated in the entrance to the building.
