Temples and centers that serve native Brits tend to adapt to whatever situation they find themselves in -- I've been to Zen centers in tiny basements, just past the washing machines and old bicycles.

What I'm getting at is that Buddhism is an idea, and it shouldn't matter if the temple doesn't look like the ones you've imagined. A person, once they've glimpsed the divine, learns to leave all these man-made distinctions behind.
