Mornington Grove Community

🙚 Welcome 🙜

Mornington Grove Community was founded in 1981 to be a stable and secure home. It occupies two large semi-detached Victorian houses, with communal garden, in a quiet road in East London. More than 40 years later, the community is still going strong.

We are an urban community of up to 14 diverse people. Our main commitments are to communal living and creating an inclusive home, and to working by consensus. Our legal status is as a fully mutual housing co-op, and we make all decisions by consensus at fortnightly meetings.

Over the years, members have varied widely, with trends at times towards music, activism, macrobiotics, psychotherapy, design, various forms of spirituality and more. Now many of us are involved in work, study, campaigning, performing, friends and interests outside the community, as well as our lives here. We welcome and value diverse life styles and choices.

We are open to new members of all ages who seek to live in and contribute to an active community. Each member takes on responsibilities for co-op, community and household jobs ranging from finances to maintenance and gardening work or organising a summer party. It takes time to join and settle in, and we aim to be fairly stable, so we ask all new members to stay for at least two years.

Please explore our website or get in touch to find out more: we look forward to hearing from you!
