Portico to former London Orphan Asylum, Linscott Road E5 - Hackney
The remaining part of the London Orphan Asylum, circa 1823 by WS Inman. The rest of the building was demolished in 1975 and the portico was derelict until 2003. It now consists of an entrance portico with colonnades. Behind the entrance is a computer centre by Brady Mallalieu from 2005 on the site of the former chapel. The building was associated with the nearby Clapton Girls Academy until 2017. Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent were granted in 2021 for a scheme to extend and convert the building into a medical surgery, but the scheme has not yet been implemented.
