This chapel is dedicated to Mary the mother of Jesus. Behind the altar she is shown holding the baby Jesus.
The golden ceiling mosaics show Mary standing in front of the Tower of London, and the Angel Gabriel standing by Westminster Cathedral. Gabriel told Mary that she would give birth to Jesus (The Bible, Luke chapter 1 verses 26-38). Between them is the tree of life (The Bible, Revelation chapter 22 verse 14).
All around the Chapel is a frieze that shows the Bible stories about Mary's life.

Nearby is a place where people light candles as a symbol of their prayers.
