Hampstead Heath

Built in 1888, by Henry S Legg; converted to housing c1985. Grade II listed. I was confused about the "Campden" on the stone fascia, rather than "Camden" as the borough is spelt. I think there might be a connection to the Hampstead Wells and Campden Charity. I found this on the website of the Wells and Campden Trust: "Although the Trust in its present form dates only from 1971, its earliest origins were in 1698 when the Earl of Gainsborough, then an infant, through his mother The Hon Susanna Noel, gave six acres of land for the perpetual benefit of the poor of the Parish of Hampstead. This became known as the Wells Charity, taking its name from the Chalybeate Well built by the Earl of Gainsborough to commemorate the bequest. It was on this land that the residential estate of the Trust was built. "The origins of the Campden Charity date back to the early days of the English Civil War in 1642, when Lady Campden (a member of the Gainsborough family) made a bequest of £200, which, together with two further bequests, totalled £250. "This was used to buy land in Child’s Hill and the income from the land was to be divided: half for the perpetual benefit of the poor and needy of the Parish of Hampstead and half for apprenticeships for poor boys of the same parish. The Campden Charity existed till 1880, when it merged with the Wells Charity and the Wells and Campden Charity was established." Here's a photo of the Chalybeate Well, which is a stone's throw away from the bath house:

I'm not sure what Flask House was originally, but it appears to be flats now.

Phoenix Road, Somers Town. Henry Croft was the original Pearly. As a kid, he earned money as a street sweeper around the markets, picking up pearl buttons that spilled from costermonger's barrels. He began collecting donations to help the poor and hit on the idea of sewing the buttons to his jacket and trousers to identify himself. Here's his statue in the crypt of St Martin in the Fields:
