[citation needed] The College Chapel was one of the first parts of the university to be constructed in 1829, located on the second floor of King's Building.

Founded around 1843 by William Henry Monk, it was noted that certain gentlemen connected with King's had... been efficiently supplying the choir.

Many members of the choir also sing with the neighbouring St Mary le Strand church, separately from their duties as choral scholars at King's College London.

The choir maintains a strong recording and touring schedule, having previously performed as far afield as Italy, Nigeria and Hong Kong.

[7] The choir also performs regularly in major concert venues and holds numerous appearances at music festivals across the country.

[8] Aside from sacred music sung mostly in choral evensong services, the choir also performs a wide range of music, including contemporary mass settings and choral works by Eleanor Alberga, Charles Stanford, Herbert Howells, and Imogen Holst, with the choir having recently sung the world première of Ed Nesbit's (one of the college composition lecturer's) The King's Service.

[9] The choir often performs with symphony orchestras both within the United Kingdom and abroad, with the ensemble giving the world première of Simon Rowland-Jones's Smile, O voluptuous cool-breath’d Earth!
