Heath House, London

It is Grade II* listed and located on Hampstead's North End Way in the London Borough of Camden.

[2] From 1790 Heath House was the family seat of banker and philanthropist Sir Samuel Hoare, who entertained many notable figures there, particularly writers and poets.

Edward Hoare, the senior member of the bank at the time of the merger, then served as deputy chairman of Lloyds.

[3] According to Edward Walford (1878): The poet Joanna Baillie wrote of her visits there: Samuel Hoare had a son by his first marriage, of the same name, who in 1806 married Louisa Gurney, of the Norwich banking family.

Heath House remains clad in scaffolding to preserve its exterior until a decision is made about its future.
