West Range Of The Former Royal Free Hospital, Old Royal Free Place

The west range of the former Royal Free Hospital, located at Old Royal Free Place, was built between 1848 and 1849 as part of the London Fever Hospital, designed by Charles Fowler and David Mocatta. It has been altered and expanded for housing in 1991. The building features stone and red brick laid in Flemish bond, with roofs covered in artificial slate.

The structure consists of a central block that is three storeys high and has a three-window range, which is double-fronted. There are two-storey wings on either side, each also with a three-window range, and single-storey colonnades between them. The left colonnade appears to have been completely rebuilt, while the right colonnade did not exist at the time of inspection.

The central block's ground floor is decorated with chamfered rustication and features a flat-arched entrance set back between pilasters, which support a simplified entablature. The entrance includes an overlight and original panelled doors with glazed upper panels. The flat-arched windows on either side are flanked by pilasters and also have a simplified entablature, along with a storey band. The upper floors have quoins and three windows each, which are adorned with architraves and panelled aprons, and each window is flanked by a Doric pilaster that supports an entablature now inscribed with 'OLD ROYAL FREE PLACE'. The second floor has flat-arched windows, a modillion cornice, and a pediment with an oculus that was formerly used for a clock. The building has side stacks and a bracketed oriel on the left-hand return.

The wings also feature ground floors decorated with chamfered rustication, flat-arched windows, a storey band, and a sill band for the first-floor windows, which are segmental-arched with architraves. They have a modillion cornice, hipped roofs, and side stacks, with three flat-arched windows on the inner return, the westernmost of which is blank.
