The New Park Street Chapel, nowadays Metropolitan Tabernacle, was a Particular Baptist chapel in Southwark, London, built in 1833. The church was formed in 1650 and initially was General Baptist. Its first pastor was William Rider, and many notable others have filled the position since, including Benjamin Keach, Dr. John Gill, Dr. John Rippon, and C. H. Spurgeon. In 1861, the church moved to Elephant and Castle and was renamed Metropolitan Tabernacle.
