The City of London Almshouses are a small development of fully
modernised one-bedroom self-contained dwellings on ground and first
floors set within a conservation area. They provide homes for
people aged over 55 on a below average income or state benefits,
who are in need of housing and require sheltered accommodation.
The City of London Almshouses Trust is a charity registered with
the Charity Commission and a housing association registered with
the Housing Corporation. The Trust is administered by a body of
Trustees who give their services voluntarily. The Almshouses are
managed on behalf of the Trustees by the City of London.
There are no communal facilities at the Almshouses although
residents enjoy the use of a large lawn area and landscaped
gardens. There are two resident staff on site who work in shifts,
and a pull-cord system out-of-hours.
The Almshouses are situated in Ferndale Road, Brixton, and are
conveniently close to a large shopping area, public transport and
local amenities.
