Queen Mary's Hospital was a children's hospital in Carshalton, London, England.
The hospital was built as the Southern Hospital in 1908. [1] However, as local requirements changed, it was converted into a children's hospital and opened as the Children's Infirmary in 1909. [2] After a visit by Queen Mary it became Queen Mary's Hospital for Children in 1915. [1] Six new blocks were completed in 1930. [1] It was heavily bombed during the Second World War and, after the war, it joined the National Health Service in 1948. [1] After services transferred to St Helier Hospital, Queen Mary's Hospital closed in 1993. [1] Orchard Hill Hospital, a facility providing long-stay mental health services to adults, remained on the site until 2009. [3]
