Heruka Kadampa Meditation Centre is a true refuge in the heart of London—peaceful, welcoming, and deeply nourishing. The meditation classes and weekend courses offer practical wisdom you can easily apply in daily life, and the community is warm and supportive. Plus, the food is fantastic, and the conversations are always meaningful!

Heruka meditation centre is such a wonderful place. I love visiting as there is a real sense of peace there, and it allows me the space for calmness and contemplation amongst the chaos of daily life. The teachers and classes are great and I always come away feeling peaceful. It feels like a home away from home.

I have been attending classes and day courses at Heruka KMC for over a year and have found them to be both spiritually beneficial and also beneficial from a daily practical perspective. The community is warm and welcoming and the teachings are both insightful and thoughtful. For anyone looking for practical ways of dealing with day to day problems or anyone looking to broaden their knowledge and understanding of Buddhism, I would recommend the classes here.

Heruka Centre provides a warm, thoughtful and friendly environment for all visitors. Their weekly meditation classes (which are held throughout London) are well structured, led by experienced practitioners and based on traditional Buddhist theory - all presented in a way that is relevant to modern life. I particularly recommend their full day courses.

Heruka Centre has been offering classes on meditation and Buddhism across London for many years. Courses and seminars are well organized, consistent and very welcoming. The representation of Buddhist teachings is clear, authentic and –most importantly – practical for daily life and problems. The teachers are mostly volunteers and dedicated Buddhist practitioners. They are motivated by helping, not by making money. Heruka Centre offers courses for beginner to intermediate level in many locations of north London for very modest fees. Advanced courses and classes mostly take place in Golders Green. I have attended many of them and can attest to their quality and friendly atmosphere. Similarly, for all I know and have seen the integrity of both Heruka Centre and its underlying tradition (“New Kadampa”) deserves high ratings and respect, in particular for making Buddhist teachings accessible for modern busy people, whether they are Buddhist or not.
