The third Boone's Almshouses opened in 1963, built by the Merchant Taylors Company on a site which had once contained large Victorian detached and semi-detached houses along Belmont Park and Blessington Road. They comprised 28 dwellings in single- and 2-storey buildings, together with two staff units for a matron and a gardener, arranged around a central green. A high brick boundary wall surrounded the almshouses on the road frontages, rendering them a 'gated colony'. Access for vehicles was from Belmont Park (which had an elaborate arched entry) and Blessington Road, with an additional pedestrian entrance from Middleton Way.

Applicants were required to have lived in the Boroughs of Lewisham or Greenwich for at least five years, with preference given to candidates from the former parish of Lee.

In 2010 the Company decided to sell its almshouses in Brandram Road in order to raise funds to redevelop the Belmont Park site.

The new scheme, to be undertaken by the Company and One Housing, would provide 62 almshouses (32 with a single bedroom and 30 with two bedrooms) within an apartment block arranged along Middleton Way and Blessington Road. An additional one-bedroom apartment would be available for visiting relatives or overnight assistance, if required. The remainder of the site, facing Belmont Park, would be used to provide private housing in apartment blocks.

The Belmont Park Almshouses were demolished in 2017.
