Who Are We?

Magdalen Hall Association C.I.C is a Tenants and Residents Association set up as a community interest company that is run by a board of tenants and residents from across the estates of St. Saviours, Purbrook & Aylwin (over 716 homes). We are formally recognised by Southwark Council. We are governed by our Articles of Association and elections are held yearly at our Annual General Meeting on the last Thursday of July.

We manage and run the beautiful Magdalen Hall, located a stone throw away from Tower Bridge, with London Bridge, a major transportation hub nearby. It has a spacious hall for rent with a stage for parties, functions, classes and theatre productions; supplemented by two bars at modest prices and discounts for members / owners (tenants and residents of the estates). All are welcome to join us at this wonderful venue. We take pride in our community and promote diversity, tolerance and equality.

Our association has been around since the 1960's, providing support and recreation for the residents of Saint Saviours Estate for over 60 years. We recently incorporated in 2024, to bring a new chapter to our history and to take our association to the next level.

Doing business with us means you can be sure that your money is being used to benefit the local community. 

Magdalen Hall is a licenced premises (880526).

We do this by: -
