Peabody Estate, Blackfriars Rd
The Peabody Trust's sixth estate, built in 1871 on the former site of The Magdalen Hospital. Funded by George Peabody’s original donation, the estate grew from 16 blocks to 19, providing 384 homes.
The Architectural Journal praised its spacious, tree-lined layout as “more home-like and less barracky” than earlier developments.
In July 1962, HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother visited to unveil a plaque marking Peabody’s centenary, and in 2021 the estate celebrated its 150th anniversary during London’s Open House festival.
The Peabody Trust is one of London’s oldest and largest housing associations. Founded by George Peabody, an American banker and philanthropist, who funded the trust to provide housing for London’s poor.
