Toynbee Hall is the original university settlement house of the settlement movement. Founded in 1884, it remains active today. A centre for social reform, Toynbee Hall was founded by Samuel and Henrietta Barnett, and named in memory of their friend and fellow reformer, Oxford historian Arnold Toynbee, who had died the previous year.

Today, Toynbee Hall provides a series of programmes for young people and families, adults, and older people, which aim to meet the needs of local people, improve conditions and enable communities to fulfil their potential.
