Kindness Cafe
Your community space where kindness ripples out
A Real Community in the Heart of London
Who we are
Kindness Cafe is a project of Jamyang Buddhist Centre (though secular in nature) and grew from a wish to bring neighbours, local communities and students together in a gentle, inclusive space. We invite you to join us: for food, for activities, for connection.
We’re more than the cafe you might imagine. We don’t have fancy espresso machines — instead, we offer a simple, welcoming space where people can pause, share, and feel held.
Community Cafe
Step into the beautiful and welcoming cafe. Here, freshly prepared meals from our plant-based kitchen are served on a donation and pay-it-forward basis. If someone needs a free meal, all they have to do is ask. For those who can, contributing a little extra helps us extend kindness to the next visitor.
In the summertime, the cafe spills out into the courtyard, a serene oasis in central London. It’s the perfect place to enjoy a cup of tea, linger with friends, and let time slow down in the company of community.
* The community cafe is currently closed and to be re-open soon.
Community Events and Activities
Our events and activities are community-driven, led by our members to enrich our shared lives and environment. These gatherings range from heartfelt sharing on bereavement and death to hands-on activities like walking, mending, making fermented food and drawing.
Each activity is offered either for free on a donation basis or for a small fee, to nurture both heart and body, fostering a sense of care and connection within our community.
