From the Wikipedia article
All Saints Pastoral Centre is a complex of buildings at London Colney on the southern outskirts of St Albans, Hertfordshire, England. It was built as a convent for the Anglican Society of All Saints Sisters of the Poor. The original buildings were designed by Leonard Stokes in 1899 and built in 1901 with a chapel added by Ninian Comper. It was Grade II* listed in 1972. The complex was acquired by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Westminster in 1973 and converted for use as a pastoral centre. It was sold to a property developer in 2011 with the sale finalised in 2014. The property remains undeveloped, and in 2019 it was included in the Twentieth Century Society's (C20) Top 10 Buildings at Risk List 2019.

Background
Architecture
The main structure is built around a garden and has an inner cloister leading to the meeting rooms. The building has adapted to modern requirements but has retained its original beauty. The centre today caters to both residential and non-residential conferences, meetings and retreats mainly from the religious sector, and has good transport access to the diocese via the M25 motorway and Radlett railway station, both close by.
