Description:

Little Abbey is part of Peabody's historic Abbey Orchard site, which stands near Westminster Abbey. As its name suggests, Abbey Orchard was previously an orchard. A traditional Peabody estate, the six-storey blocks were constructed in 1882.

After consultation with residents, the gardens and courtyards of Abbey Orchard were refurbished to highlight their private, secluded nature in the heart of Westminster. Peabody provides homes for more than 50,000 Londoners and will celebrate its 150th anniversary in 2012.
