French Convalescent Home
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 6 Jan 2010
Opened in 1896 in association with the French government and French hospital in London for retired and ill French nationals living in the United Kingdom. It remained and such until 1986 when it became a nursing home which in turn was closed in 1999 and only averted demolition by being awarded grade II status. It has been redeveloped into luxury apartments.
