Innovative housing plans in East London aim to combat loneliness among elderly people by placing them on a busy street where they will share space with neighbours, school children and other groups. Architects believe their building design - which reimagines the age-old British concept of the 'almshouse' - will put older people at the heart of urban society and recognise their "immense importance" to Britain's cities.
Planning permission has just been given for the building, which will be home to 90 people over 70 in Bermondsey. It will have a glass-fronted 'community lounge' which can be used by community groups, so that elderly residents can mingle with school children and locals.

Seems good, as long as football in the street is banned.
