Wikipedia also adds:
Westminster Chapel is an evangelical church that has been based in central London since 1840. Situated in Buckingham Gate, just 200 yards (180 m) from Buckingham Palace and just off Victoria Street, the chapel has long been a popular place of worship for Evangelical Christians. The current building, seating around 1500, was opened on 6 July 1865. The church was founded by Congregationalists, and was pastored by the late Dr D. Martyn Lloyd-Jones from 1939 to 1968. During the Lloyd-Jones pastorate, the church resigned from the Congregational Union and became instead a member of the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches.
Subsequently, the church was pastored by Bible teacher RT Kendall (1977–2002), and currently Greg Haslam is minister, having previously been the pastor of Winchester Family Church, a Newfrontiers church.
