Located in the heart of Covent Garden, Inner Space is a meditation and personal development centre that has been providing free sessions for nearly 30 years. Often described as "London’s oasis of calm and insight," we believe that relaxation and rejuvenation are fundamental to overall well-being and success.
Inner Space spans two floors: the ground floor features a welcoming space where visitors can browse a curated selection of self-help books or chat with our team. The lower ground floor houses our main meditation and seminar areas, offering a calm environment for deeper engagement with the resources we provide, as well as our Quiet Room, the jewel of Inner Space. This peaceful sanctuary offers visitors a moment of serenity in the heart of London's busy West End.

• Virtue Scope: Pick positive qualities for your personal development, work, life and relationships.
