| abstract | - The Royal Star and Garter Home, Richmond on Richmond Hill, in Richmond, London was built between 1921 and 1924, to a design by Sir Edwin Cooper, based on a 1915 plan by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott, to provide accommodation and nursing facilities for 180 seriously injured servicemen. The Royal Star and Garter Homes, the charitable trust running the home, announced in 2011 that it would be selling the building as it did not now meet modern requirements and could not be easily or economically upgraded. The building, which is Grade II listed, was sold in April 2013 to a housing developer, London Square, for £50 million. The trust opened a new home in Solihull, West Midlands, in 2008 and the remaining residents at the Richmond home moved in August 2013 to a new purpose-built building in Langley Avenue, Surbiton. The intention is to open a third home on a site in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
