London Bridge station organ

The London Bridge station pipe organ, popularly known as Henry, is a Victorian pipe organ located at London Bridge station in the United Kingdom. Built in 1880, it was moved to its current location for public use in 2022 by the "Pipe Up for Pipe Organs" charity project, which had recovered the organ from Christchurch in Whetstone, north London, after the church closed in 2020.

Church organ
The pipe organ was built by Henry Jones in 1880 and nicknamed "Henry". The console has one manual, a pedal keyboard and eight stops, and the organ blower has a 30-minute switch.

The organ was installed at Christchurch, a United Reformed church in Whetstone, north London, where it remained in use until the church closed in July 2020. It was removed the following year.

Public use
In July 2022 the organ was installed at London Bridge station − in the Stainer Street concourse, near Saint Thomas Street − by the "Pipe Up for Pipe Organs" charity project led by the organ restorer Martin Renshaw. Its relocation saved the organ and helped to raise public awareness of the loss of pipe organs from closed churches in the United Kingdom. It is freely available for anyone to play, and the Future for Religious Heritage organisation believes it to be the "world's first open-access railway station pipe organ".

The "Pipe Up for Pipe Organs" project estimates that of the approximately 35,000 pipe organs in the United Kingdom, "up to four pipe organs a week are being stripped out and sent to rubbish tips". The charity relocates British pipe organs to France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark, Norway and Eastern Europe.

Another organ, known as "James", was moved by the project together with the London Mozart Players to Trinity Court in the Whitgift Centre, a shopping centre in Croydon, south London.

Reception
Following the organ's relocation to London Bridge station in July 2022, a ceremony was held on 27 October 2022 to mark its installation. The event was attended by the chair of Network Rail, Peter Hendy, and the organist Anna Lapwood, Director of Music at Pembroke College, Cambridge, gave a performance. Organists and Network Rail officials cited the positive reaction they observed from the public.

Lapwood's performance of "God Save the King", accompanied by a security guard, in September 2022 had previously gone viral on Twitter. In 2023 David Hill, the former organist and music director at Westminster Cathedral, Winchester Cathedral and St John's College, Cambridge, performed Bach's Toccata in D minor on the organ.
