Hi guys my wife has just arrived in the UK and I'm sure she will want to go to a temple in the near future the only problem being I don't know where any are. Any help would be appreciated .

Depends where you are?

I have visited Wat Buddhapatipa At Calonne road in Wimbledon, London. This serves a very large Thai community and they celebrate all the main holidays like Loy Kratong and Songran too. It is built like a Thai style viharn.

Also i have been to Chithurst monastery in Sussex which is a branch temple of Luang Por Chah from Ubon.

The one in Wimbledon Village, Calonne Road is the best in my experience and we had our UK Wedding (at a registrar's office) blessed there a week after we were married in Surrey, and some of the monks speak English as well. They also have a school there for Thai Children but I don't know any more about that.

Amaravati is a wonderful place set out in the country near Hemel Hempstead but quite hard to get to and follows the teachings of Ajarn Chah - the founding Abbott Ajarn Sumedho was a great man now sadly retired back to Thailand. Can also reccomend Wat Buddharam in Wanstead East London - all Thai monks with wonderful open hearts - always come back from there calmed and inspired. We no longer go to Wimbledon any more as the monks seem a bit remote and status conscious.
