Soane's Yard

The Soane Stable Yard provides a new starting point for visitors to the Royal Hospital and the opportunity to explore our past and enjoy a taste of all the Royal Hospital has to offer today.

Eminent architect Sir John Soane, whose legacy includes the Bank of England and Dulwich Picture Gallery, also in London, was the Royal Hospital’s Clerk of Works for 30 years. He designed and built the Grade II listed Stable Yard between 1814 and 1817, repurposing many materials from Wren’s original structure. The stable block provided stalls for 25 working horses, housing for nine carriages and two flats for stable boys and coachmen.

The buildings have been the subject of an extensive renovation project which has conserved the historic fabric from both Wren and Soane’s buildings and reinstated architectural features – like the beautiful chimneys damaged during the Second World War – using innovative conservation techniques.

The Soane Stable Yard now houses the Chelsea Pensioners Museum, a Shop and Post Office, an Activity Room and the Veterans Outreach Centre.

The space can also be hired for evening receptions and dinners.
