Alcott House in Ham, Surrey (now in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames), was the home of a utopian spiritual community and progressive school which lasted from 1838 to 1848.[1][2] Supporters of Alcott House, or the Concordium, were a key group involved in the formation of the Vegetarian Society in 1847.[3]
