The Alexandra Cottages were constructed between 1866-1868 by the "Metropolitan Association for Improving the Dwellings of the Industrious Classes", the first such organisation to build semi-detached houses with gardens, rather than traditional terraces or tenement blocks. They were intended as low cost housing for London workers, being close to Penge station, although local workers were soon accommodated too.
