London, SE18 - Former Royal Herbert Hospital
Image: © David Hallam-Jones Taken: 30 Sep 2012
The unglazed, formerly covered, way leading to a former ward block once known as Pavilion E, with the smaller former bathhouse in the front of it - both housing private apartments - are now called Robertson House. The more distant block (also converted to flats in 1995) is Sidney House. The hospital was commissioned by Sidney Herbert, Minister for War, for Crimean War veterans and designed by Captain Douglas Galton of the Royal Engineers, who was Florence Nightingale's nephew and cousin by marriage.
