About Us
Queens Village for Seniors is a 63-unit retirement home located in London, providing a relaxed and elegant home-like setting within a secure environment. The residence is an approved member of ORCA. This charming and prestigious property has been a landmark since 1872, originally built by Mr. James Duffield, an owner of the London Oil Refining Company. Over the years, it has served various roles, including hosting the Red Cross Blood Clinic during the war and the London College of Bibles & Missions. It became Queens Avenue Manor and later, in 1978, a nursing home until it was sold to Village Partners in 2002. Village Partners have committed to restoring the building to its original state, preserving its character and integrity. The Urban League of London Green Brick Award was presented to Queens Village in 2005 for its sensitivity to the needs of the elderly, the environment, and the historic nature of the mansion.
