About us

Legal & General was founded in 1836 by six lawyers in a coffee shop on London’s Chancery Lane. From the very start, we were convinced that private ownership and social progress could work together, so housing was a natural evolution for us.

Nearly two centuries later, we are investing in new homes for all ages, social groups and home ownership schemes.
