The spacious building at 64-68 Colindale Avenue was purchased in 2010 for the development of the Jain Centre London.

Planning permission for the change of use from an industrial site to a place of worship and community centre was granted in October 2010.  The premises had some interim works to provide a Jain temple, auditorium, seminar rooms, educational wing, administrative infrastructure and community facilities.

In January 2013, further planning permission was obtained to demolish the present building and construct a three-floor Jain Centre with a place of worship, community centre with an auditorium and other community facilities.

To bring greater awareness of Jainism, its practices and values to the wider public in the UK, to serve the local and visiting Jains, the centre will be a place of worship and study for all major Jain traditions and a global hub for disseminating of Jain values. It will serve as a place of multifarious activities such as education and training, cultural and spiritual activities, yoga, meditation and healthy living for the welfare of the local community

A magnificent development will soon start to take shape with the blessings of Jain Acharyas, including:

Gacchadhipati PP Acharya Bhagwant Prem Suri Maharaj, Gacchadhipati PP Acharya Bhagwant Jayghosh Suri Maharaj, PP Acharya Bhagwant Rashtra Sant Padmasagar Suriji, PP Acharya Bhagwant Jayasunder Suriji, PP Acharya Bhagwant Ratnasunder Suriji, PP Acharya Bhagwant Kirtiyash Suriji, PP Acharya Bhagwant Nityaananda Suriji, PP Acharya Bhagwant Hemprabh Suriji, PP Acharya Bhagwant Fulchand Suriji (KC), PP Ganivarya Naypadmasagarji Maharaj Saheb, PP Namramuniji Maharaj Saheb and many other Saints and Acharya Bhagwants. We have also blessings from other Acharya Bhagwants of all major Jain traditions and divya ashish from Late PP Acharya Bhagwant Hemratna Surishvarji.

• PP Naypadmasagarji Maharaj Saheb is actively supporting the fund raising and development of the Jain Centre.

Situated in Colindale, North West London amidst the major Jain population in the boroughs of Barnet, Brent and Harrow, the site is well connected by major roads and public transport and is within easy reach from central London.

Its purpose is to provide a place of worship and study for all major Jain traditions; a hub to bring greater awareness of Jainism, its practices and values and local community facilities. The British Government, media, statutory and other institutions in the United Kingdom engage with the nine major world faiths including Jainism. As a result Jain representatives are being invited on major national and international events such as the Royal Wedding, Commonwealth Services and Olympics.The Jain Centre is

“A welcoming and harmonious centre that promotes peace, health, wellbeing, culture and education to people from all faiths and none in Colindale and the wider community”
