‘William Harvey houseis a luxurious homefrom home in centralLondon – we loved it.’

William Harvey House (houses 9 and 10, St AndrewsPlace) was designed and built in 1826 by the architectJohn Nash (1752–1835). This was a period ofdistinctive trends not only in British architecture, butalso 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), wereGrade I listed.In October 2011 the accommodation at Houses 9 and 10reopened after major refurbishment. The restoration anddecoration were influenced by the historical context, thestructure of the building itself and the operational brief.However, the real ambition was to create a welcoming andcomfortable ‘home from home’ in the heart of London.The accommodation was re-named William Harvey Housein memory of the eminent physician.2 3
