London Buddhist Vihara, Buddhist monastery in Ealing, United Kingdom
The London Buddhist Vihara functions as a main center for Theravada Buddhism, offering meditation sessions and teachings within a Grade II listed building.
Founded in 1926 by Anagarika Dharmapala, this monastery holds the distinction of being the first Sri Lankan Buddhist temple established outside of Asia.
The temple maintains resident monks from Sri Lanka who lead regular meditation classes, religious ceremonies, and educational programs about Buddhist philosophy.
Located at The Avenue in Chiswick since 1994, the temple welcomes visitors interested in Buddhist practices and maintains regular teaching schedules.
The building, designed by Richard Norman Shaw in 1877, previously served as a social club for the Bedford Park garden suburb.
