Now being developed for residential use. Image for how it looked six years ago "The hospital ... was founded when William Lidderdale, then governor of the Bank of England, bought a building near Regent's Park after being inspired by stories of Florence Nightingale's heroics during the Crimean War. The hospital was moved to Hythe in 1962 and was run by nuns until the 1970s." https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/spire-to-shut-st-saviours-hospital-23wpwrz8p3v. It was subsequently run by Spire Healthcare, but closed in 2015 as it was too expensive to modernise
