Kensington United Reformed Church is a historic building located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Originally built as Kensington Chapel in 1858-59 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, it exemplifies Victorian Gothic Revival architecture. The church became part of the United Reformed Church denomination in 1972 following the merger of Presbyterian and Congregational churches. Known for its acoustics and ornate interior featuring stained glass windows and intricate plasterwork, it frequently hosts musical performances alongside its regular religious services. The building underwent significant restoration work in recent years to preserve its architectural heritage. It stands on Kensington Church Street, a location with a long association with religious institutions within the area.
