Zen Centre, Buddhist vihara in City of Westminster, England.
The Zen Centre on Marlborough Place is a two-story building housing meditation halls, community spaces, and areas for Buddhist practices. The facility offers a structured environment for regular classes, teaching sessions, and group gatherings.
The building received Grade II listed status in December 1987, recognizing its significance within Westminster's architectural and religious history. This designation reflects the growing presence of Buddhist institutions in London during the 20th century.
The center reflects how Eastern spirituality arrived in London's urban fabric and shows how people here weave mindful practices into their daily lives. Visitors experience a space where traditional teachings and contemporary life coexist.
Access to sessions and events is available through weekly meditation classes and Buddhist teachings with options for regular members and drop-in visitors. Check opening times in advance and remain flexible with session timing when planning your visit.
The center maintains architectural continuity by converting a former Georgian townhouse into a meditation space without substantially altering its original structure. Visitors often notice how the intimate room divisions of the house enhance the contemplative experience.
