The City of London looks after more than
2,700 properties across six London boroughs - Hackney,
Islington, Lambeth, Lewisham, Southwark and Tower Hamlets. It
also has two housing estates - Golden Lane and Middlesex
Street - within the City itself.
We work closely with other social landlords to improve housing
conditions and provide a wide range of services for our tenants,
including: day to day repairs, tackling anti-social behaviour,
dealing with empty homes and letting them, collecting rent,
processing claims for housing benefit, help for the homeless, right
to buy and leasehold services.
All properties go through rigorous checks and any necessary
works are carried out prior to making the property available for
new tenants.
This section has been designed to give you an overview of the
housing services provided by the Department of Community and
Children's Services. You will also find links to many useful sites
which may give advice and assistance in finding a solution to your
housing problem, or give you general advice about the housing
situation in London.
The Housing Department has recently
undergone reorganisation during which it was decided that all
staff who do not work on a housing estate should be based
together in one building. Our new office is based in the
Barbican. As we don't have much space, we ask that you try to call
us in advance to make an appointment if you need to see us.
Our office address is:
Housing Options Team, Barbican Estate Office, 3 Lauderdale
Place, EC2Y 8EN
Our contact numbers are:
- 020 7332 1237

The Housing Options office is closed to the
public every Tuesday morning until 1pm.
If there is an emergency a team member will arrange to see
