Overview

The Royal Hospital Chelsea building in Chelsea, London SW3.

Built between 1681 and 1691.

Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, the original building was built to house 412 veteran soldiers and their officers and comprised a single quadrangle, known as Figure Court, surrounded on two sides by the accommodation blocks and on a third by the Great Hall and Chapel. The pavilions at each corner provided for the kitchen and infirmary and officers' accommodation.[1]
