The red and white buildings are seen now as they would have been when they were built between 1868 and 1871. In the Seventies, buildings with between 7 to 14 storeys accommodating treatment centres and a medical school replaced several west wing blocks.

This famous line of four houses was built at the request of the future George II to house the Maids of Honour of the Princess of Wales.

In this museum set out in 1971 in a modern building on Royal Hospital Road, are galleries devoted to uniforms, weapons and paintings that recreate the daily life of the soldier. In the room near to the entrance hall is the skeleton of Marengo, Napoleon's favourite horse, and trophies captured by the English at Waterloo (glass Cabinet 44 A). Finally the Art Gallery contains several portraits by painters such as Reynolds, Romney, Gainsborough and Lawrence.

The cathedral choir uses modern buildings (1967) joined to a bell-tower. There you will find St.Augustine's and St Faith's church, built by Wren between 1680 and 1687, before being destroyed in 1941. Its bell-tower, a balustraded stone tower with a wide base, a Baroque lead turret, has been rebuilt, in accordance with Wren's plans.
