Welcome to the Award-Winning Mary Ward Centre

At the Mary Ward Centre, we are proud to be an innovative adult education facility located in Stratford, London, providing creative and professional courses. Our Centre has received numerous accolades, including the New London Awards 2024 for the education sector, the Structural Award 2024 from The Institution of Structural Engineers, and the AJ100 Community Impact Award 2024. All rooms are available for external hire.

Our building is a testament to our commitment to sustainability and community. We transformed the existing Queensway House into a vibrant hub for lifelong learning, repurposing 65% of the original structure to significantly reduce carbon emissions. This retrofitting approach not only reflects our values but also promotes environmental responsibility.

Welcoming up to 5,500 students each year, our Centre is designed with inclusivity in mind. We offer dedicated social spaces that foster engagement and collaboration, creating a sense of belonging for everyone who walks through our doors. The striking exterior, with its bold colour palette, invites the local community to connect with us and explore what we offer.

Here at the Mary Ward Centre, we are dedicated to empowering individuals through education, promoting social cohesion, and nurturing lifelong learning for all. Join us and be part of our vibrant community!
