A Pilgrim’s Coffer:

The New Park Street Chapel only had room for about 1,200 people, and by 1855—only a year into his pastorate—Spurgeon began hold services at Exeter Hall, on the North side of The Strand, near Wellington Street and the Waterloo Bridge. The main hall auditorium was able to hold over 4,000 people, and Spurgeon easily filled their seats with churchgoers and visitors.
