Hospitality Barracks (West Nave)

Type
Locations: Church.

Location
Saint Paul's Sanctuary (Location)

Description
The part of the nave west from the central crossing (below the dome) has been converted into a large hostel; standard bunkbeds fill the hall, and a wooden wall runs down the middle of the center aisle, separating the male and female sides. The accommodations are basic, and there is little privacy, but it provides a roof over the heads for some of London's most downtrodden. With the exception of Bishop Whaler and the Woods, the nuns, brothers and priests of the Sanctuary also sleep here as well.

At 9:00 PM Grand Silence begins, the lights in the hall dim, and those who haven't decided to attend Compline prayers usually settle down to read or sleep. St. Paul's Guardsmen patrol the gallery up above to ensure the security of visitors.
