Little Houses Group has rebranded as OurHouse following investment from real estate funds managed by Blackstone – the world’s largest alternative asset manager.
As part of this next phase, OurHouse will, subject to planning, open three new clubs including Orly’s House in East Sheen, Olive’s House in Chiswick and Leo’s House in Clapham next year.
The portfolio represents a long-term, multi-million-pound investment into London. Each location will be developed within existing buildings in family-focused neighborhoods, transforming under-used commercial spaces into mixed-use destinations designed specifically for local families.
OurHouse is also assessing opportunities beyond the capital, targeting locations with strong residential fundamentals where its model can deliver a positive impact, including the potential creation of up to 130 local jobs per club.
Charlie Gardiner, Founder of OurHouse, comments: “Our vision from the start has been simple, to create spaces where families feel at home. We blend childcare, leisure and lifestyle to make everyday life easier, bringing under-used commercial spaces back to life as vibrant hubs local families can rely on and feel proud to belong too. With strong demand and a unique approach, OurHouse is
redefining what a family club can be.”James Seppala, Head of European Real Estate at Blackstone, adds: “In OurHouse, we see a compelling, experience‑led leisure concept, led by founder Charlie, CEO Nick Crosthwaite, and an exceptionally strong management team that has driven and continues to drive its success. Leisure is a high conviction theme for us, and we look forward to a long-term partnership.”
