The Royal Foundation of St Katharine
The Royal Foundation of St Katherine is a retreat centre and urban oasis in Limehouse, established by Queen Matilda in 1147. In 2011, St Katharine’s opened its doors to the general public, providing an oasis of calm in the heart of East London. It has become a place where groups and individuals can stay, meet, reflect and retreat. In 2020, St Katharine’s offered itself to become part of the NHS provision for The Royal London and Barts. A dynamic volunteer network, Limehouse Aid, also joined St Katharine’s, which now hosts a food bank distributing food. St Katharine’s is also a thriving arts and community organisation. London’s only Yurt Café is set amidst a wildflower and vegetable community garden (complete with bees).
