The Chapel of St Peter ad Vincula is a special and unique place of worship with an extraordinary history. Historical documents refer to St Peter's as a Royal Chapel as early as the 12th century. Today it is a Chapel Royal and it is a 'Royal Peculiar' directly under the jurisdiction of The Queen. It is the parish church to HM Tower of London, the most visited heritage site in the country.
