The Victoria Hospital for Children, which later merged into St George's Hospital, was a hospital in Tite Street, London.[1]
History
The hospital was established at Gough House in Tite Street as the South Western London Hospital for Children in October 1866.[1][2] It was renamed the Victoria Hospital for Sick Children a month later when the out-patients department opened and then became the Victoria Hospital for Children in 1905.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 under the management of St George's Hospital.[1] After services were transferred to St George's Hospital, it closed in 1964.[1] The building was demolished in 1966.[1] The site is now occupied by St Wilfrid's Convent and Home.[1]
