Hertford British Hospital, Gothic Revival hospital in Levallois-Perret, France.

The Hertford British Hospital is a Gothic Revival building at 48 rue de Villiers in Levallois-Perret, designed by Ernest Sanson and inaugurated in 1879. Its symmetrical facade combines pale stone with brick panels; a central glass entrance sits beneath a stone pediment inscribed "Smile", with a projecting stone balcony and black iron railing above. The steep dark roof carries pointed dormers and tall spires.

Sir Richard Wallace founded the Hertford British Hospital after the 1870 war, having seen that British residents in Paris lacked medical care. The building by Ernest Sanson opened in April 1879 at 48 rue de Villiers. It merged with the Hôpital Notre-Dame du Perpétuel Secours, founded in 1885, in 2008 to form the Institut Hospitalier Franco-Britannique, renamed Hôpital franco-britannique in 2019.

Services are offered in both English and French, a legacy of the Hertford British Hospital founded for English-speaking patients. The charity's patron was long Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother, and the 9th Marquess of Hertford holds the role today. The dancer Rudolf Nureyev died here in 1993 and the actor Jérôme Savary in 2013.

The facility is easily accessible by Metro Line 3 at Anatole France station and sits in central Levallois-Perret. Keep in mind this is an active medical institution primarily serving patients, so advance notice or a legitimate reason is needed to visit the building itself.

King George V and Queen Mary visited in 1914, drawing large crowds and highlighting the hospital's importance to the British community in France. This royal visit remains a testament to the facility's standing in European medical and diplomatic circles.
