This is an enclosed order of nuns who seldom leave the premises, except in emergencies, and so the gate to the chapel would normally be locked. Here, it is open for members of the public, attending morning Mass, to receive Holy Communion. Although so near to Marble Arch, little disturbs the calm of this place except the periodic rumble of tube trains passing below. The community do have a garden at the rear where they grow plants and vegetables, as well housing some poultry and a hive of bees.
