The future of the Queen Mary s House site in Hampstead remains unclear, but a document which could pave the way for 150 homes is expected to be published this summer.
The Royal Free NHS Trust, which owns the site, has been looking to sell since 2018, but local groups are concerned at the potential for unaffordable mansion flats .
The former-hospital site, in Heath Street, is currently home to key worker accommodation.
In February 2020, Camden Council consulted on a draft site allocations local plan (SALP) – a planning document which would designate the area as space for 150 homes.

The series provides a harrowing portrait of the impact of the coronavirus on individuals, families and the National Health Service (NHS). The introduction to each of the six episodes highlights the unprecedented situation in which the trust found itself during the first wave, having treated almost 2,000 COVID patients. Scenes highlight the emotional toll on staff, shown in tears in some cases. Health workers explain, “Basically we are at breaking point here” and “It actually feels like a field hospital.”
