OUR HOUSE, YOUR HOME

Armenian roots. A welcome for everyone.

Established in 1959, Armenian House is an Armenian community and cultural centre in the heart of London. Open to Armenians and non-Armenians alike, it is a home from home where old acquaintances meet and new friendships begin.

From cultural and social events to concerts, readings and the Armenian Library, Hye Doon continues to be an important part of the fabric of the UK Armenian community.

ROOTED IN LONDON. CONNECTED TO ARMENIA.

A shared history. A living community.

For generations, our Kensington home has brought Armenians together. Between 1992 and 2023, it also proudly housed the Embassy of Armenia to the United Kingdom.

An Armenian quarter in Kensington

Armenian House sits at the heart of an Armenian quarter in Kensington. With St Yeghiche and St Sarkis churches, Gulbenkian Hall and the Vicarage nearby, it forms part of a longstanding network of Armenian cultural, spiritual and community life in London.
