Bethnal Green's Oxford House

In the late 1800s Bethnal Green in East London was the most impoverished slum in all of London. Oxford House opened its doors in 1894, to house students from Oxford University assisting Bethnal Green's poor.  Today Oxford House is a community center. From the outside, the building looks commonplace but hidden on the 3rd floor one finds this magnificent wood-paneled Victorian chapel.
