'The beautiful Chapel of St Peter & St Paul was part Sir Christopher Wren’s original design for the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich. After a devastating fire, the Chapel was rebuilt in 1779 by James "Athenian" Stuart. With its richly decorated ceiling, naval themes, and exceptional altarpiece painted by "the Raphael of America", Benjamin West, it is evident why the Chapel is now regarded as one of the finest neo-classical interiors in existence. The Chapel is open daily to everyone from 10.00am to 5.00pm as a place of meditation and prayer. As an active site of Christian worship, it hosts regular services, as well as recitals, concerts, and other special events.'
