The Royal Alfred
Seafarers' Society
Life at Royal Alfred
The Royal Alfred was established as a charity in 1865 to help "worn out and infirm seamen", and over the past 150 years, our commitment to providing a safe haven for seafarers, their widows and dependants hasn’t changed.

Belvedere House has experienced significant snowfall overnight. We suggest that, unless your visit is vital, you wait until the snow clears. Some of our administrative staff have not been able to make it in so please bear with us if we take longer than usual to answer calls.
