St George's Interdenominational Chapel, Heathrow Airport

The Heathrow Chaplaincy Team includes Christian chaplains from Anglican, Catholic, and Free Church denominations, and representatives from Muslim, Jewish, and other faiths.

The challenge for architect Jack Forrest, of Frederick Gibberd and Partners, was to produce an ecumenical chapel to accommodate Christian traditions, as well as a haven of peace and quiet.

The other apses now accommodate the Blessed Sacrament (the tabernacle has two separate compartments for Anglican and Roman Catholic traditions) and baptismal font.

Outside, the Memorial Garden is dominated by a 16-foot oak cross, and provides a place of rest and refreshment for staff and passengers.
