I spoke briefly with the security guard there who said he thought it was being demolished – something I was astonished by, hence my internet search and ending up here. I’m so glad to find that the building will be put to good use after all. Good luck with the redevelopment.

Well I only just heard news of this and came immediately here to see pictures and read this great blog. It has been I think around 7 years since I left London and remember our struggles back then in attempts to find a new place and heard the many stories since. Am totally chuffed to hear the news and so pleased for you all and wow what potential this place has! Love the big arches, grand entrance, big old style windows and massive space.

The persistence and endurance through many obstacles, near misses, troubles over a long time to find a suitable place reminds me of the stories of the likes of Naropa, Marpa, Milerepa etc in their quest to get the teachings and practice them for the benefit of all. It is really inspiring and wish you all the best for coming hard work in restoration and renovations.

All best wishes from retreat in NZ
Kim
