For the last 30 years of his life, and where he died in 1879, Hill lived at Bartram House on Hampstead Green. Bartrams, was the largest house in a row of four Georgian mansions which were demolished at the start of the twentieth century to make way for Hampstead General Hospital, which was itself demolished in the 1970’s and replaced by The Royal Free Hospital. For twenty years his next-door neighbour on Hampstead Green was the gothic revival architect Samuel Sanders Teulon who designed St Stephen's Church, Rosslyn Hill facing their houses. He is buried in Westminster Abbey; there is a memorial to him on his family grave in Highgate Cemetery. There are streets named after him in Hampstead (off Haverstock Hill, down the side of the Royal Free Hospital) and Tottenham (off White Hart Lane). A Royal Society of Arts blue plaque, unveiled in 1893, commemorates Hill at the Royal Free Hospital in Hampstead.
