Make a retreat
Draw aside from the noise and busyness of your daily life and experience some peace and quiet to listen to God.
The House of Prayer is set in its own peaceful garden and offers a spacious and prayerful atmosphere for retreatants. Nestled in a quiet suburban setting, it is a mile from Hampton Court Palace with its gardens and river walks, and nearby parks including Molesey Heath Nature Reserve.
There are eight bedrooms: six en-suite and two standard rooms. Standard rooms each have access to a private bathroom. Rooms have access to guest Wi-Fi and refreshments, including tea and coffee making facilities. Retreatants may join the community for Morning Prayer on weekdays at 8.45am, and have access to communal rooms including the dining room, conference room, library, lounge and prayer room. Spiritual direction may be available upon request and should be booked in advance of your visit to ensure availability.
