London, SE18 - Former Royal Herbert Hospital

The courtyard inside the former main gate area of the previous Administrative Block of this former military hospital. The largest archway houses the old "main gates", although these are used for emergency purposes only now. This particular block - named Galton House, after the architect - once housed a porter's lodge, the guardroom, waiting rooms, examination rooms and a surgery, along with the offices of the governor, registrar, paymaster and other officers' quarters. The site as a whole - known as the "Royal Herbert Pavilions" - was converted into 228 private apartments in 1995.
