Your guide to the best care homes around London.
Special offer brought to you by Lottie!
London is home to an incredible variety of care homes, from peaceful residential settings in leafy suburbs to luxury homes with on-site salons, cafés and even cinemas. We know that finding the right care home here is about more than just location. It’s about finding a home where your loved one feels safe, respected, and part of a caring community. That’s why every care home listed on our site is fully regulated by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) and carefully vetted by our in-house Care Experts.
Whether you're searching for a residential care home, nursing care, or specialist dementia support, you’ll find a wide range of options across London boroughs. Homes like Bridgeside Lodge in Islington and Chelsea Court Place in Chelsea offer everything from gentle daily routines to round-the-clock nursing support, with care plans tailored to individual needs. If your loved one is living with dementia, many homes feature sensory gardens, reminiscence rooms, and dedicated dementia carers who understand the importance of familiarity, routine and reassurance.
Older adults in London benefit from excellent access to healthcare, with world-renowned hospitals like St Thomas’, University College Hospital, and the Royal Free. London’s green spaces - from Hampstead Heath to Richmond Park - offer calm, natural places to enjoy time outdoors with family. The city’s reliable transport network makes it easy for friends and family to stay connected.
With our free platform, you can search, compare, and shortlist care homes across London based on what matters most - whether it’s budget, location, dementia-friendly design, or pet-friendly options. Many homes have virtual tours, availability updates, and downloadable brochures for added information.

London's Care Regulator:
Care Quality Commission
I'm delighted with the care my mum receives. I feel fortunate that she's there and have peace of mind knowing she's in good hands. The management is outstanding, with regular communication - even regarding the smallest incident and the staff are fantastic, always going the extra mile. This home has become a place that my brother and I love. The location is ideal, with parking and good transport links, allowing us to visit regularly. The garden overlooks the canal, which is a lovely spot for us both to sit and relax with Mum. Although mum was hesitant at first, she's now very happy there.
My dad gets the best care here, with great facilities and a fantastic team. He feels incredibly safe, knowing there's staff around the clock. The staff ratios are excellent, so he gets the personalised attention he needs. The food is absolutely delicious, with loads of options. Even though he's quite a picky eater, he always finds something he enjoys calling it 'Restaurant quality'. The internal garden is so lovely, and Dad enjoys the cultural activities with regular trips to museums and galleries.
My husband's care home is really well run. The management has improved significantly and is great at addressing any issues immediately. The current manager has created a family atmosphere, is so proactive, and always has time to chat. This home truly feels like a second family to us and has put my mind at ease. There is a strong emphasis on getting residents moving and up and about and lots of recreational areas, apart from the dining rooms, such as a TV room, a library, and a cinema.
