TQ3481 : Whitechapel: The Royal London Hospital

near to Bethnal Green, Tower Hamlets, Great Britain

Whitechapel: The Royal London Hospital
Whitechapel: The Royal London Hospital
This is the now curiously non-symmetrical front façade of the hospital which opened on 20 September 1757 and celebrated its 250th anniversary last year. Contemporary prints of the new building from 1757 see it set in open fields, and show a symmetrical façade. The hospital is now run by the Barts and The London NHS Trust. Extensive rebuilding works are in progress as evidenced by the cranes behind.
