St Charles' Hospital is a health facility in North Kensington, London. It is managed by the Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust.
History[edit]
The foundation stone for the hospital was laid in 1879 and it was officially opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales as the St Marylebone Union Infirmary in 1881.[1] A nurses' home was opened by Princess Christian in 1884.[1] The facility became the St Marylebone Hospital in 1923 and was renamed St Charles' Hospital in 1930 when it was taken over by the London County Council.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and continues to operate as the St Charles Centre for Health and Wellbeing.[2]
The main building is listed with grade II.[3]
