Queen Square, is a well-tended garden square in Bloomsbury, central London which dates from the 1700s. One of its most famous residents was the interior designer William Morris. The area has a long association with the medical profession, in particular, neurology. In this painting, the new Albany Wing of the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, built in 1881, stands as an impressive backdrop. In Queens Square, London Felix Kelly captures an oasis of calm. Deck chairs, one with books stacked beside it, beckon the viewer across a lawn of daisies and buttercups to the statue of Queen Charlotte at the northern end of the square.

Besides being a leading British neurologist, Dr MacDonald Critchley (1900 - 1997), was a handsome and dynamic figure with a love of history. A superb public speaker, he was a keen observer of human nature and in his professional life a founder of the British Migraine Trust. His colleagues included fellow neurologists, William Allen Sturge (researcher of the Sturge-Weber syndrome) and Sir Roger Bannister. He lived at Nether Stowey in Somerset. In 2013 the weekly undergraduate teaching round at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery at Queen Square was named after him - the Critchley Round.
