It was [[Charles Spurgeon]]'s church for many years. ==History== The tabernacle fellowship dates to 1650 when the English Crown banned [[Christian]] [[denomination]]s other than [[Puritanism]]. Membership grew when [[freedom of religion]] came to [[England]] in 1688. The present London Tabernacle church building dates to 1898, albeit with extensive repairs of damage caused by the [[Blitzkrieg]] raids on London. == Other websites == *[http://www.metropolitantabernacle.org/ Metropolitan Tabernacle official site] {{multistub|religion|UK}} [[Category:Baptist churches]] [[Category:Buildings and structures in the London Borough of Southwark]]
