Morden College, Historic retirement home in Royal Borough of Greenwich, England
Morden College consists of brick structures with stone details arranged in a quadrangle, featuring covered walkways and statues above the entrance portal.
Founded in 1695 by Sir John Morden, the Grade I listed building initially provided accommodation for forty single or widowed men from merchant backgrounds.
The retirement home maintains connections with the City of London through the Court of Aldermen, which has managed the institution since 1884.
The residential complex includes multiple buildings across Blackheath and Beckenham, providing modern care facilities for elderly residents in southeast London.
The John Morden Centre, part of the college complex, received the 2023 Stirling Prize for its architectural design in eldercare facilities.
