ASYLUM CHAPEL

On Friday I went to a location which was very unusual.  When I turned up at the address I was surprised to find there is a Grade II listed chapel included in the quadrangle of almshouses situated off Asylum Road, Peckham, London.

Almshouses  were like social housing and these ones were London’s largest complex of almshouses originally known as the Licenced Victuallers’ Benevolent Institution Asylum.  There are still residents at the almshouses but the chapel has not been used for purpose, for many years. The Chapel was built about 1830 and today, hardly anyone knows it is there.

It is now regularly rented out to film companies and next week it will be used for a Marvel production.  I came to take part in a music video production and I will write more of that later.
