Barnes Hospital, on South Worple Way, East Sheen, [1] in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames, is a hospital managed by South West London and St George's Mental Health NHS Trust. It provides community and inpatient mental health services. [2]
The hospital was opened in 1889 as The Barnes Isolation Hospital. [3] Its original purpose was to treat and care for patients with infectious diseases such as diphtheria and scarlet fever. [3] The existing buildings were extensively renovated in 2001 when a new extension was added. [3]
Half of the hospital's site was sold to a residential developer in 2019. In September 2020, plans were approved for a health centre and a Special Educational Needs school on the rest of the site: they are due to open in 2027. [4]
