A little-known tourist secret. The Tudor Chapel Royal in St. James Palace and the Queen's Chapel across the street are both closed to the public. They ARE open to the public once a week for Sunday services. You will be able to hear the red-liveried Chapel Royal Choir sing superbly and listen to one of the Queen's Chaplains preach eloquently. Half of the year, the services are in the Chapel Royal and the other half are in the Queen's Chapel. This is a rare opportunity to visit two of the most important churches in London. Tallis, Byrd , Purcell & Handel all conducted their music music in the Chapel Royal. For details and music lists, check the link on the British Monarchy website: http://www.royal.gov.uk/TheRoyalR…
