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."
Our upcoming schedule
We are currently displaying the beautiful ‘Woman at the Well’ Icon which is loaned to us from the Retreat Association until 2nd June.
We invite you to come for a Quiet Day where you can spend some time of reflection, stillness and prayer with this unique work of religious art.

Vatican News
In response to a request from Pope Leo XIV, we are pleased to share the new Vatican News video widget—designed to bring timely Vatican updates, papal messages, and global Church news directly to digital platforms worldwide.
We are grateful for the Holy Father’s encouragement to broaden digital outreach and hope this tool serves communities seeking reliable, up-to-date Vatican media.
“Dear brother, this initiative by Vatican News is a tool for evangelisation; it offers an opportunity to create a network and exchange gifts between Rome and the Church in your country. It is a way for your parishes and communities to constantly obtain information from the primary source.”
