London Fo Guang Shan Temple, Buddhist temple in City of Westminster, England
The London Fo Guang Shan Temple occupies a Victorian gothic building at 84 Margaret Street, featuring architectural elements characteristic of William Butterfield's design principles.
The structure, originally built between 1868 and 1870 as a parish school and Church House, received Grade II* listed status for its architectural merit.
The temple offers meditation classes, Buddhist lectures in English and Chinese, and maintains a Sunday school program teaching Buddhist principles to children.
Visitors can attend daily services at the temple, with special celebrations during New Year Festival, Ching Ming Festival, Buddha's Birthday, and Ullambana Ancestor Memorial Service.
The building represents a transformation from its original Victorian educational purpose to becoming one of two British branches of the Taiwan-based Fo Guang Shan Order.
