Description
London Bridge Hospital (part) is a commercial building located on Tooley Street in Southwark, dating from 1903 and designed by CS Peach of Peach and Reilly. The building features an ornate facade made of red brick and buff terracotta, incorporating early 17th-century details and Baroque elements. It has a hipped slate roof with tall chimneys along the ridge.
The structure consists of three storeys, a full attic storey, additional attics, and a half-sunk basement. The front has nine bays, with the end bays faced in terracotta that project slightly forward as wings. These wings feature broken pediments above the second floor, supported by pilaster strips that rise from a cartouche and console brackets flanking the ground floor doorway and window. The ground floor is adorned with a terracotta office front, highlighted by engaged Doric columns that support a deeply moulded cornice, which breaks forward over the doorway, topped with a broken pediment.
The building includes small canted bay windows with shafts, aprons, and segmental-headed basement lights featuring heavy keystones below. The first and second floors have closely spaced mullioned and transomed windows set in terracotta architraves, with bracketed sills and cornices on the first floor. A central window on the first floor projects with a segmental head and has a wrought-iron "pergola" balcony above the doorway. Similar windows with balconies are found in the wings on the first floor. The main cornice above the second floor is decorated with egg-and-dart bead moulding, leading to a plain attic level topped by a further "weaving shed" attic in the roof, which includes an additional central dormer.
The building is treated similarly on its east return. The interior has not been inspected. Nos 17-25 on Tooley Street are now connected to the river building behind by a glazed walkway.
