Royal London Homœopathic Hospital Great Ormond St

Nothing great here, but like many buildings which have been added to over a period of time, there are a variety of different names and materials to see. Terracotta lettering set into the brickwork facing the childrens’ hospital (main picture); glazed terracotta panel on the corner with Queen Square; and cut-out steel lettering on the balcony above.

Cut-out square-section timber letters, note the repair to ROYAL. This façade is now being refurbished, I'm not sure whether these will survive.
