Lonely Planet review

A surprising sight in a residential neighbourhood half a mile from Wimbledon Village, this is as authentic a Thai temple as ever graced this side of Bangkok. The Buddhapadipa Temple was built by an association of young Buddhists in Britain and opened in 1982. The wat (temple compound) boasts a bot (consecrated chapel) decorated with traditional scenes by two leading Thai artists. Remember to take your shoes off before entering.

To get to the temple take the tube or train to Wimbledon and then bus 93 up to Wimbledon Parkside. Calonne Rd leads off it on the right.
