St Peter's London Docks - Wapping Lane, London E1

The chapel was named after the Mission Chapel which served the people of Wapping from 1857 to the consecration of S. Peter's in 1866.

The Good Shepherd Chapel

The Daily Mass started in this Chapel in 1866. When the cholera swept through East London that year the priests, sisters and lay assistants gathered at this altar each morning for Mass before they went out to care for the sick and the bereaved.

The Daily Mass is still offered here.
