St Olave's Hospital

Categories: Medicine

Built originally as the Rotherhithe Infirmary in the early 1870s. It became the infirmary of St Olave's Union in 1875, and was renamed St Olave's Hospital in 1930. In 1966 it became part of the Guy's Hospital Teaching Group. The site has since been redeveloped as housing.
