Since then The Royal Hospital has been home to the famous Chelsea Pensioners. Any former soldier of the British Army over the age of 65, who is facing spending their advanced years alone, can apply for residence. The Royal Hospital is well worth visiting for its architecture, The Great Hall and The Wren Chapel. It also has an excellent café. If you are visiting on a Sunday between April and November (10.40 am – 10.55am) try to catch the Governors Parade where some of the Pensioners parade in full ceremonial uniforms for inspection by the Duty Governor before attending church in The Wren Chapel. The Wren Chapel – Free Admission - Wren built the chapel between 1681 and 1687. King Charles, recognising Wren’s genius, allowed the architect total artistic freedom. Many experts believe that this simple structure is one of Wren’ s most beautiful creations.
