Wat Buddhapadipa, Thai Buddhist temple in Wimbledon, United Kingdom.
The temple contains golden stupas, meditation rooms, and gardens filled with various plants, water features, and stone pathways throughout the four-acre grounds.
The first Thai Buddhist temple constructed in Europe opened its doors in 1982 and received the official status of Royal Temple directly from Thailand.
The interior walls display murals that combine traditional Buddhist stories with modern elements, including images of nuclear warfare and space exploration.
The temple opens daily from 9:00 to 17:00, with meditation sessions occurring on Sundays and Buddhist celebrations following the traditional lunar calendar.
Resident monks maintain authentic Thai practices while adapting to British customs, creating a bridge between Eastern spirituality and Western daily routines.
