The Metropolitan Tabernacle is a large independent Reformed Baptist church in the Elephant and Castle in London. It was founded in 1650, having among its history of pastors Dr John Gill (51 years), Dr John Rippon (63 years), and most notably Charles Haddon Spurgeon (38 years), during which time it was the largest nonconformist church in the world. 

Today it is a very large multi-ethnic congregation with Britain's biggest children's Sunday School (on four sites). Dr Peter Masters is the current pastor, having held the post since 1970; the assistant pastor is Ibrahim Ag Mohamed.

The Tabernacle stands today in its Spurgeonic tradition, upholding reverent traditional worship, fervent evangelism, and the doctrines of grace. It hosts an annual School of Theology (three-day summer conference), an adjunct seminary (London Reformed Baptist Seminary), live broadcasting of services, simultaneous interpretation of services in five languages, and a well-established bookshop.
