Brentford & Isleworth Meeting House

The Brentford & Isleworth Meeting House is a Friends meeting house (a Quaker place of worship) on Quakers Lane in Isleworth, Hounslow. Built in the 18th century,[1] it is listed Grade II* on the National Heritage List for England, and is one of the oldest purpose-built meeting houses in London.[2] Meeting for worship is held on Sundays at 10:30 am.[3]

The building was originally built for the Quakers in 1785, on a site purchased from wealthy Quaker Benjamin Angell, and has been regularly extended since. The West London Quaker burial ground and a garden surrounds the house. The front wall of the house was badly damaged during the London Blitz in 1940.[2]
