History

There were originally two hospitals on the site: the Stockwell Smallpox Hospital, which opened in 1871, and the Stockwell Fever Hospital, which opened shortly thereafter; these two hospitals combined in 1884 to form the South Western Fever Hospital. [1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 as the South Western Hospital and contained an out-patient facility, known as the "Landor Road Day Hospital" for psychiatric patients. [1] It closed in the early 1990s and, following demolition in 1996, was replaced by a new mental health facility known as Lambeth Hospital. [1] The new mental health facility was named after a previous Lambeth Hospital, which had opened on the site of Lambeth Workhouse in Renfrew Road, in 1922. [2]

In 2014, the Triage ward of the new hospital was featured in an episode of the Channel 4 documentary series Bedlam. [3]

The NHS South East London Clinical Commissioning Group announced in May 2020 that Lambeth hospital would close with the services moved to a new building on the Maudsley Hospital site. [4] South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust announced a consultation in July 2020 on proposals to sell land so that 570 houses could be built on the site. [5]

Lambeth Hospital is situated in Stockwell, within walking distance of Clapham High Street railway station and Clapham North tube station. [6] The hospital site includes the following buildings: [1] [7] [8]
