The Chapel was built in 1968 and designed by Jack Forrest of Frederick Gibberd and partners (architects of Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral). The subterranean vaulted crypt design creates a space of remarkable quiet at the heart of the airport.

​

The Chapel is the shared responsibility of Anglican, Roman Catholic and Free Churches, in partnership with Heathrow Airport.

​

As part of the 50th Anniversary Celebration of the Chapel, a group of women from the Austin Sewing Club in Hayes made a commemorative banner that hangs in the Chapel, signifying the Hope we have in Christ of unifying the nations of the world. Stained glass - inspired lightboxes have also been installed in the Chapel, made by artist Anna Sikorska with colleagues from Heathrow, providing a symbol of Light and Life that came into the world from the time of the Creation, and through the Incarnation, a Light that continues to shine in this dark world.
