About

Fitzjohns & Royal Free sits on the edge of Hampstead in the London Borough of Camden. Fitzjohn's Avenue runs roughly north–south from Hampstead High Street toward Finchley Road and is lined with Victorian and Edwardian terraces, occasional villa plots and narrow mews that have been converted to housing. Small shops, a bakery and a few cafés cluster along the avenue, while buses and nearby Finchley Road and Hampstead tube stations connect the area to central London. The street pattern and grouping of communal gardens give the neighbourhood a village-like layout within the borough.

The Royal Free Hospital occupies a site on Pond Street, east of Fitzjohn's Avenue, and combines clinical buildings, research and teaching facilities. Its frontage and patient routes shape the block pattern between Rowland Hill Street and Flask Walk, making the hospital a local landmark for residents and visitors. Side streets hold a mix of maisonettes and period houses, some with original cast-iron railings and cobbled service entries that hint at the area’s development in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
