Westminster Hospital
|
|
(London SW1) London's first hospital to be funded by private donations, established in 1715. A minority group of trustees, dissatisfied with the available accommodation, founded *St George's Hospital in 1733 as a separate venture. The Westminster occupied several premises close to the abbey before moving in 1939 to a site near Lambeth Bridge; in 1993 it moved again, to Chelsea, becoming known as the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
