About us
The Charterhouse is an almshouse and housing charity that has been in operation since 1611, it houses and provides domiciliary care for a community of residents on the historic site in London’s Clerkenwell. With origins dating back to the 14th century when the land which is now Charterhouse Square was used as a burial site for plague victims, the Charterhouse has been a Carthusian monastery, a grand Tudor mansion and later an almshouse and school. Today as a contemporary almshouse our residents, who are still known as Brothers although no longer exclusively men, are at the heart of our community. We welcome visitors to come and enjoy the heritage of the site with free access to the museum display and Chapel during opening hours, or by booking onto a tour or event to experience more of our site including our courtyard gardens. It is a friendly, interesting and unique place to live and work.
Our charitable mission is to provide a home, a community and care for older people with a housing need, while sharing our heritage and investing in it for future generations.
Contracts & Tenders
We are embarking on a series of projects to conserve our buildings and improve our independent living accommodation to align with our strategy and charitable aims. This more ambitious second phase of works, builds on the earlier works and will centre around the improvement of our accommodation in the Grade I listed Washhouse Court, one of our most historically significant set of buildings surrounding a courtyard. Subsequent phases will look at how we could go about adapting the site on a more strategic level as we embark on our journey to become a centre of excellence in the provision of homes and domiciliary care for older people.
We are looking to engage with an architect-led multidisciplinary team to assist us in achieving our ambitions and taking our plans forward.
