Latchmere House, Victorian architectural structure in Richmond upon Thames, United Kingdom.

Latchmere House stands as a mid-19th century Victorian building with ornate features on extensive grounds southeast of Ham Common in London.

The property transformed from a private residence to a military hospital during World War I, treating officers affected by combat stress conditions.

The building operated as Camp 020 during World War II, serving as an intelligence center where MI5 conducted interrogations of captured enemy agents.

Berkeley Homes converted the structure into seven residential apartments, integrating it within the new Barrons Chase development in Richmond upon Thames.

Hidden microphones were installed in specific rooms when the facility functioned as a classified military intelligence interrogation center in the 1940s.
