Building

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

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]
