So historic

The first Ben Jonson School - called Johnson Street School - opened in 1873. This original building was destroyed after it was badly bombed during the Second World War.

en Jonson was both an English dramatist and poet, regarded as one of the most significant figures in English literature. His literary circle met regularly at the Binfamous Mermaid Tavern in Cheapside and later at the Devil’s Head. Jonson’s sense of satire was adored and the group called themselves the Tribe of Ben.

Jonson (1572 - 1637) was friends with many of the writers of the time and some of his most well-known poems include tributes to Francis Bacon, Shakespeare and John Donne. He is regarded as one of the major dramatists and poets of the seventeenth century and is buried amongst the greats at Westminster Abbey.

Following the Second World War Stepney’s Ocean Estate was built and a new school named Ben Jonson, after its predecessor, was completed and opened in 1952. The old school administration block is now undergoing a transformation to create ten unique and individual new homes.

So Old School will be a stylish, urban collection of apartments retaining many original architectural features including impressive, arched windows, high ceilings, ornate brickwork and sweeping staircases. It’s your chance to own a piece of Stepney history. So Connected
