Victoria House, Shooter's Hill

History

The building was constructed in the classical style in 1909.[1] It became the officers' mess and living quarters for the Royal Army Medical Corps staff employed at the Royal Herbert Hospital.[1] The Ministry of Defence sold the building as part of Project MoDEL in June 2013 and, although it was originally planned that the building would be converted into a 75 bedroom residential care home,[2] the building is now being converted for use as the Primary School element of Greenwich Free School.[3]
