Entrance to the old Belgrave Hospital for Children
The Belgrave Hospital for Children was founded in 1866. The attractive red-brick Arts & Crafts-style building at 1 Clapham Road was constructed in phases between 1899 and 1926 to a design by Henry Percy Adams and Charles Holden.
After its abandonment in 1985 by King’s College Hospital (it was amalgamated in 1948) the building fell into disrepair and housed a number of squatters.
In the early 1990s, the building was renovated and converted into privately-owned flats.
