Ellern Mede is a specialist private provider of eating disorder services in England. It runs two hospitals in North London and one in Rotherham. The hospital in Warwick Road, Barnet opened in 2017.[2] The service takes referrals from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services[3] for children with anorexia.[4]
Building
[edit]The company is named after Ellern Mede, a large detached house at 31 Totteridge Common in the London Borough of Barnet, N20.[1] It was built between 1876 and 1877 by the architect Richard Norman Shaw for businessman William Austin.[5]
The design is described by Nikolaus Pevsner as "one of Shaw's asymmetrical Old English L-plan compositions...big, bold half-timbered gable over the entrance, and broad tile-hung flank with half-hipped gable, all anchored by tall chimneys".[6]
History
[edit]In recent years Ellern Mede has been a nursing home,[7] and the Ellern Mede Centre for Eating Disorders was founded in the building in 2000, before moving to Mill Hill in May 2011.[8]
