The Thomas Watson Cottage Homes

Almshouses are a charitable form of self-sufficient, low-cost community housing that is held in trust for people in housing need. They are managed and run by almshouse charities.

Today, 36,000 people are living full and independent lives in almshouses, finding friendships, wellbeing, safety and security inside their walls and within their communities.

The Thomas Watson Cottage Homes are an historic almshouse charity based in Barnet, North London, providing safe and comfortable housing for older residents in need. Founded with a mission to offer secure and supportive accommodation, the Thomas Watson Cottage Homes reflect a long-standing tradition of community care and charitable giving. Set within peaceful surroundings, the homes are designed to promote independence while fostering a sense of belonging, offering residents not just a place to live, but a place to call home.
