Blackheath Quaker Meeting House with cobbled area of forecourt, Grade II listed Quaker meeting house in Lewisham, England.

The Blackheath Quaker Meeting House features board-marked concrete construction, a pyramidal roof with a lantern, and a cobbled forecourt transformed into a Peace Garden.

Built between 1971 and 1972 by architect Trevor Dannatt, the meeting house replaced previous gathering locations in Woolwich and other parts of southeast London.

The meeting house provides space for up to 100 individuals to gather, continuing the Quaker tradition of communal worship in a minimal architectural setting.

Located on Lawn Terrace, the building includes wheelchair access, cork tile flooring for natural acoustics, and maintains regular community gatherings and events.

This structure stands as the sole Brutalist-style Quaker meeting house in Britain, earning both a Civic Trust award and Concrete Society commendation in the 1970s.
