In England Smith's work included the Technical Schools (and Baths) of the Carpenters' Company at Stratford, and the Ben Jonson schools at [Stepney](/wiki/Stepney "Stepney") (1872\), as well as other schools for the London School Board. In school design, Smith employed what was then called the "German system", or "Prussian plan", in the Jonson Street School in Stepney, providing in particular one classroom per class. Still a contentious approach, it was criticised by [Edward Robert Robson](/wiki/Edward_Robert_Robson "Edward Robert Robson"), who had objections on grounds of expense. At that date, Robson as School Board architect was making a reasonable case based on the existing supply of teachers.

Smith designed also Emmanuel church and vicarage, South Croydon, and the Sanatorium at Reedham (1883\). The North London Hospital for Consumption at Hampstead, known as Mount Vernon, was built in 1880, enlarged in 1892, completed 1903\. Its French\-influenced style was a pattern repeated in hospitals built over the next two decades.Donald Bassett, *'Queen Anne' and France*, Architectural History Vol. 24, (1981\), pp. 83–91\+155–158
