Our house is a small retreat centre in South-East London between Lewisham and Blackheath, with Greenwich close by. It is a surprisingly quiet oasis of peace and stillness in the midst of urban life. We are pleased to welcome small groups of up to 25 day guests and accommodation for individuals or small groups looking for a place of retreat, silence and rest. While we are unable to provide meals for groups or individuals there are self-catering kitchen facilities available for guest use.
We also have an in-house programme consisting of a variety of different day/evening and residential events.
Please take the time to explore the many different possibilities. We look forward to welcoming you!

Quiet afternoon with the Icon of the Woman of the well. 22 October 2022.
Slide show of the fruits of the prayer.
A new beginning.
It is hard to wipe out all the words of prayer on our blackboard. It needed to be painted anew, and leave space for new sharing of praise and joy.

Ignatian Year
The Ignatian Year officially closed on the Feast of St Ignatius, 31 July 2022. 500 Years ago, Ignatius was residing in Manresa, begging for his living and to support the sick and the poor. He deepened his life of prayer and lived the most life changing experiences of God. He spent 11 months there, from 26 March 1522 to the beginning of Lent 1523. During this time, he kept some personal notes of the way God was leading him. He later used those notes to accompany others in the Spiritual Exercises.
