The new overshadows the old

The soon to be completed Pioneer Point seen over the roof of Ilford Hospital Chapel.

Pioneer Point in Redbridge is set to become the east of London's architectural icon, with two towers of 33 and 25 stories and spectacular views to the City, Canary Wharf and the Capital's Olympic Stadium.

The Hospital Chapel of St. Mary the Virgin and St. Thomas of Canterbury - known locally as The Hospital Chapel - is one of the gems in Redbridge’s Crown. Grade II Listed, it is the oldest building in the London Borough of Redbridge, founded circa 1145AD by Adelicia (Adeliza), Abbess of Barking, as a hospice for 13 aged and infirm men.
