FAQs

Is there a residents' association where I live?

The Crown Estate encourages the establishment and operation of residents' associations and works closely with such groups who both represent our tenants, as well as acting as an effective means of communication with The Crown Estate.

Residents’ associations exist at both our Victoria Park and Cumberland Market estates. For contact details of both organisations, please get in touch with the relevant estate office.
