Welcome to Mornington Grove Community
The community was founded in 1981 to be a stable and secure home for the group and their children. The community occupies two large semi-detached Victorian houses, with communal garden, in a quiet road in East London. Thirty years later we are still going strong.
Mornington Grove is a city community of up to 14 diverse people of all ages. Our main commitments are to communal living and working by consensus, and the community is vegetarian and non-smoking. Our legal status is as a fully-mutual housing co-op, and we make all decisions by consensus at monthly business meetings. We aim to respect and support diversity.
Over the years members have varied wildly, 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’re open to new members, particularly people with practical skills. Each member takes on responsibility for co-op, community and household jobs ranging from finances to party organisation. It takes time to join & settle in, and we aim to be fairly stable, so we ask all new members to stay for two years.
Please explore our website or get in touch to find out more.
