Charterhouse
The almshouse established here in 1611 – still home to over 40 people today - gives the Charterhouse its unique atmosphere.
Situated by the ancient boundaries of the City of London, between Barbican and Farringdon, the seven-acre site consists of a series of buildings dating from the 14th century, many of which are Grade 1 listed. Originally a Carthusian monastery, the Charterhouse was then refashioned as a grand Tudor mansion. The school and almshouse founded here in the 17th century later saw many Victorian additions, with major renovation carried out by Seely & Paget after WW2.
More recently, striking new buildings and spaces have been sympathetically designed by Hopkins Architects and Eric Parry Architects.
