‘William Harvey house
is a luxurious home
from home in central
London – we loved it.’
| |
William Harvey House (houses 9 and 10, St Andrews
Place) was designed and built in 1826 by the architect
John Nash (1752–1835). This was a period of
distinctive trends not only in British architecture, but
also in literature, fashion, politics and culture.
In May 1974 the houses in the precinct of St Andrews Place,
occupied by the Royal College of Physicians (RCP), were
Grade I listed.
In October 2011 the accommodation at Houses 9 and 10
reopened after major refurbishment. The restoration and
decoration were influenced by the historical context, the
structure of the building itself and the operational brief.
However, the real ambition was to create a welcoming and
comfortable ‘home from home’ in the heart of London.
The accommodation was re-named William Harvey House
in memory of the eminent physician.
