Come & rest awhile

The Kairos Centre is a Catholic spirituality and conference centre in south-west London, set within landscaped and secluded gardens near Richmond Park. We offer a peaceful space for prayer, reflection, and personal and group retreats, with opportunities for quiet days, spiritual direction and residential stays. We also host organised retreats and events.

We extend a warm invitation to all who desire to share opportunities for spiritual reflection and growth in our tranquil grounds, where together, we can respond to the Lord’s call to "come and rest awhile."
