Covent Garden London
The heart of London's West End
Seven Dials Housing Co-op
The Seven Dials Housing Co-op provides affordable and well-maintained accommodation for people with a strong connection to the area, be it through family or work.
All tenants are well vetted - but demand greatly outstrips supply.
Like any area that has a strong desire to be a community, Covent Garden needs to keep its local people in the area. Our fully mutual Co-op is part of Covent Garden's history, formed at the time of the Market's closure in response to the need to keep the area available - and affordable - for local people.
The presence of affordable housing in an area enhances the social mix, but also acts as a counterbalance to an otherwise spiralling property market with no community at its heart.
In addition to our own property we have established a good reputation for responsible management of 'short-life' housing and property held and managed in perpetuity for others but we are constantly on the look-out for new properties for our well-vetted tenants to occupy.
For instance, within the next year it is feared that a good number of our short-life tenants will be made homeless.
If you desire to see Covent Garden remain an area with community at its heart and if you possess local, unfurnished property which you wish to see responsibly managed (without fee) and tenanted within the ethos of affordable housing, we would be delighted to hear from you.
Please contact us on 020 7379 3534 for further details.
