ESA Lambeth hospital 1

More than 500 homes will be built at Stockwell site

ESA Architecture has been given the green light for a 570-home housing scheme on the site of Lambeth hospital in south London.

The plans, which were approved by Lambeth council last week, will see the 2.54ha plot transformed to residential use after being a hospital for 150 years.

They will see the construction of nine blocks, most of which are around seven storeys in height, surrounding an 18-storey tower in a low-rise residential area of Stockwell.
