Lonely Planet review for King’s College
King’s College is one of the most sublime buildings in Europe and Cambridge’s foremost tourist attraction. The chapel was begun in 1446 by Henry VI and completed around 1516. Henry VI’s successors, notably Henry VIII, added the intricate fan vaulting and elaborate wood-and-stone carvings of the interior. The chapel comes alive when the choir sings and there are services during term and in July (phone for performance times).
