Cambridge University - King's College Chapel

On our last full day in England we took the train from London to Cambridge. The guided tour of the University focuses on King's College, particularly the chapel, which is a very good choice.

"King's College Chapel is one of the most iconic buildings in the world, and is a splendid example of late Gothic (Perpendicular) architecture. It was started in 1446 by Henry VI (1421-71) and took over a century to build. It has the largest fan vault ceiling in the world and some of the finest medieval stained glass." link
