Royal Hospital
Chelsea –
Founders Day
Thursday 6th June 2024
King Charles II founded the Royal Hospital
Chelsea to provide a home for ‘the relief of
veterans broken by age or war’. He was inspired
by Les Invalides, the French hospital that had
been built by Louis XIV in Paris 11 years earlier.
Nowadays the Grade I listed site is still home
to c280 Chelsea Pensioners, who are all former
soldiers of the British Army.
