**I'm okay with the idea of one and not the other being featured if one is not up to scratch, but they are clearly useful together as a set because they illustrate opposing views of the interior. The two of them together shows what one cannot. As for the reason for the original chapel, I have no idea, but it didn't last long. Just 25 years. That's not even long in today's disposable world!

Reason
The two images of this interesting Grade 1 listed building (the highest level of heritage listing in England) show the interior from opposite ends and are very high resolution, aesthetic and architecturally corrected. It is the work of George Gilbert Scott, one of Britain's most renown Gothic Revival architects and extremely prolific. His article is worth a read if nothing else.
Articles in which this image appears

Both images: King's College London Chapel. First image only: George Gilbert Scott, King's College London, Victor Negus, Listed building and List of Chaplains of King's College London.
