History

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]
