Ruskin House, Grade II listed building in London Borough of Croydon, United Kingdom.

Ruskin House occupies a Georgian townhouse with large walled gardens on Coombe Road, serving as a community center for social and political activities.

The original Ruskin House, established by Georgina King Lewis in the early 1900s, provided a meeting space for labor movement groups without alcohol service.

The venue maintains a strong connection to progressive movements through regular film screenings, theatrical performances, and educational events focused on social issues.

The building contains two spacious halls and multiple meeting rooms available for public rental, with a members' bar operating daily from 7:00 PM.

The current location represents the third iteration of Ruskin House, opened in 1967 by Prime Minister Harold Wilson as headquarters for local political organizations.
