Saying that Talea and I had a great experience doing our workaway at this place would be an understatement.

We found there was a good balance of indoor and outdoor work to do, and so many opportunities to hang out with other workawayers and residents at the centre. We especially enjoyed the morning meetings that set clear guidelines for what needed to be done that day, and we were given lots of time to explore London on our own time. This is a very unique and special opportunity for any workawayer. On the surface you can look at this experience as a way to see London while flyering, get your hands dirty in the garden, or create some cool social media content. And we did all of those things, but between the tasks of the day you start to see opportunities to grow. Doing dishes in the kitchen while bonding with someone over their struggles with learning a new language. Helping someone with their resume before cooking dinner together. Finding yourself wanting to join the mediation classes even when you aren't working them. If this is something that interests you, you will be welcomed here with open arms and so many great cups of tea! We can't thank Rob or the other volunteers enough for making this experience one that we will remember fondly for a long time!
Nadine and Talea were an absolute joy to host at our centre.

The Center is a great base to explore London, the tube takes you to the center in about 20 minutes and interesting quarters such as Camden are in walking distance.

What a lovely pair of friends! Not only were they engaging but they were also very productive. Though young they were mature for their age. It was sad to see them go as they were so helpful and nice to have around. We wish them all the best for their next travels and studies at University.

My experience at the Buddhist Center in London was simply excellent. There is a strong sense of community and everyone was helpful and caring. You work Monday to Friday and the tasks are easy and engaging. During my stay at the Center, the weather was pleasant so we worked often outside, in the garden.
We were very creative: we planted new

The Center offers plenty of meditation classes and workshops, which I personally found very inspiring and life-changing. I still attend their classes and workshops and I truly treasure their teachings.
Exploring the “meditation” aspect was what brought me to the Center and I can easily say that that’s exactly what I was (and still am) searching for.

The food was really great (italian, french). Every people who cook gave the best and I really enjoyed the diferent dishes I ate.

This centre is an amazing oasis of peacefulness in the centre of London. Great place to combine learning about Buddhism and meditation with an opportunity to explore the city. Having said that, the main reason I enjoyed my stay so much was the laid-back, tranquil, kind-hearted atmosphere of the place. Thank you Michael & the rest! I am sure I will

Hi There
Izabela has been a great asset to the centre.
She is always happy to help and helps even when not asked.
She has helped with publicity, cooking, cleaning, putting together furniture, gardening.
I found Izabela to be very positive and a good person to have a round the place.
Good luck on your journey and thank you

Andrew was a pleasure to have around the place. Always happy to help with anything we asked and whenever he was finished would come looking for the next job. That's rare!
His cooking skills were essential during a busy time and we all loved his Chickpea curry.
He set himself high standards all the time and I believe can achieve whatever he puts

Always forthcoming with a conversation and with deep thought.
Many thanks

Working for Michael was a pleasure, as it's not so common in life to work for someone with such inner peace.
A very laid back environment where things get done. The work was varied but never over demanding, but generally good fulfilling physical work. If you can cook, there's a good chance you'll be doing a lot of cooking.
There's nothing here

That said, Golders Green is nice and has a surprising amount of beautiful natural places to go walk/ nap/ meditate after you finish (at 3) that you often don't feel that you're in London.
A lot of the guests enjoyed staying here as a gateway to staying in London.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

I couldn't have best experience as my first voluteer work. I've met friendly people with big hearts. The work is very light, the accommodation is excellent and there is good food.

People at the center are really nice, generous and respectful. I've learnt many things talking with the residents. The room was comfortable, and the food was good! The work was sometimes a bit hard, but interesting. And London is really great!
If you want to know more about meditation and experience something good in general, try this center!
