About Oxford House  

Oxford House is a historic ‘settlement house’ established in 1884 by students and graduates who came to live and work in the East End. These ‘settlers’ led projects and community initiatives ranging from men’s clubs, to work exchanges and adult learning initiatives for local people. Oxford House has been based in its listed Victorian building in the heart of Bethnal Green since 1891. From youth work, projects for older people, to women’s groups and community-led Somali cultural projects, Oxford House has reflected a changing East End. Today, Oxford House is multipurpose community arts centre, still based in our beautiful, Grade II listed building and home to a theatre, dance studio, gallery, and café.
