Inside Islington commune
Finding decent, affordable accommodation in London is a tall order but one way to keep costs down is to join a commune. These were popular in the 1970s when commune members lived in cheap digs with a strong sharing, community spirit, while unused, dilapidated buildings were spruced up and looked after by their residents. Inside Out goes inside the Park Street Community, one of London’s oldest communes which has been running in an Islington terrace for nearly 40 years. But with the terrace valued at around £12m, the landlords, One Housing Group, now want to evict the tenants, and a big question mark hangs over the commune’s future.
