Onsite Services
The primary use of St Katharine's is accommodating retreat events for groups and individuals, and conferences for not for profit organisations and faith groups at accessible rates. An introductory thought for the evening starts in the Chapel with the Master of RFSK, or a guest speaker. The Royal Foundation Of St Katharine is a retreat centre in London and is a wonderful choice for guests who need a quiet space to work, or a home away from home when travelling for business. Onsite restaurants are available.
“The Royal Foundation of St. Katharine distinguishes itself with its tranquil atmosphere and beautiful gardens, a welcome respite in busy London. Its proximity to Limehouse DLR simplifies city commutes, while the exceptional breakfast and on-site Yurt Cafe add undeniable appeal. I found the friendly staff and immaculate rooms particularly noteworthy, making it a comfortable and supportive stay.”
