PEMBROKE COLLEGE SETTLEMENT

Pembroke House was founded in 1885 by students from Pembroke College Cambridge. It is based in Walworth, Southwark. We are home to a wide-range of activities for the local community and together with local residents, groups and organisations, we're building a Walworth in which people can connect, learn from one another, and work together towards a good society.
