Bethnal Green, East London, England · 1978–2018
Sangharakshita's principal London base during the mature FWBO years, the London Buddhist Centre was created from a derelict Victorian fire station in Bethnal Green. Opened in January 1979, it became one of his two main residences for much of the following decade and the venue for major public lectures, Order Days, and book launches. He described Bethnal Green as occupying 'an important place in my history.'
