depends when it was

if it was pre 1911 you can look for him on the census and this will show all those at the same address
Ancestry has London addresses to about 1940

the 1939 reg is also available but costs to search the complete household
other electoral rolls are at the local main library for the area .

if he was still alive post 2002 you may find him on the address search on 192.com or the free electoral roll website

Historical electoral rolls might help. Depending on the era they'd show other registered adults 21 and over.
Don't forget that total emancipation didn't come into effect until the 1920s.

Ancestry have a number of ER for selected years. Non featured areas/years are likely to be held at the nearest archive or library with a local studies centre.
Census can be searched by address on Findmypast, then there is also the 1939 Register.

Maybe it's me but is there a proceedure or method for finding out who lived at a certain address during a certain period. I am trying to trach down my P'grand father, I have an address for him but cannot find out who also lived there. Kind regards. MickyB
