Urban Retreats

Located in the grounds of the newly transformed Imperial War Museum it is well worth spending a few quiet moments enjoying the tranquility of The Tibetan Peace Garden.

As you sit on the meditation seats wrapped by the curved walls, gazing inwardly at the Kalachakra Mandala, the nearby hum of traffic melts into the background. Instead the intentions of this special place, consecrated by the Dalai Lama  in 1999, come to the fore. As does the wonderful smells and colours of the planting and the satisfying symmetry of  the sculptures representing the four elements of fire, water, air and earth.
