St Philip's Hospital was a medical facility on Sheffield Street in London, originally formed on the site of the Bear Yard Infirmary.
St Philip's hospital began on the site of what was originally the Bear Yard Workhouse Infirmary, part of the Bear Yard Workhouse and Casual Wards. [1] The Bear Yard Workhouse and Casual Wards were built in 1890, with the buildings (excluding the infirmary, which was still active in 1901) being demolished in 1900 and replaced by the Strand Union in 1903. [1] [2] In 1913, the Strand Union amalgamated with the St George's Union and Westminster Union respectively to become the City of Westminster Poor Union. [1] During WWI, the site of the workhouse infirmary was used as an observation hospital for war refugees. [1] [3]
In 1919, the site of the Sheffield Street workhouse was sold to the Metropolitan Asylum Board for £20,000 following an approach to the Ministry of Health by the Home Secretary at the time, Edward Shortt, in order to provide accommodation for the reception and treatment of women suffering from venereal disease (VD), and it was opened for this purpose in 1920. [1] [3]
In 1930, the hospital came under the control of the London County Council and was expanded, with additional wards being built in the southern block known as Sheffield House, now being able to accommodate 52 patients. At this point it was renamed as the Sheffield Street Hospital. In 1948 it joined the newly formed National Health Service, at which point it came under the control of the Paddington Group Hospital Management Committee. [1] [3]
The introduction and mass-manufacture of penicillin in 1945 led to a reduced requirement for VD hospitals. At some point during 1951 the hospital was renamed to St Philips Hospital and in 1952 joined the Institute of Urology (formed by St Peter's Hospital and St Paul's Hospital). [1] [3] [4] These three hospitals became known as "the three P's", with St Philip's focusing on chronic urological cases, At this point the inpatient capacity was of 57 beds. [3]
At some point following 1952 the hospital focused on nephrology and by 1969 had reduced to a capacity of 26 beds. [1] [3] In 1992 the Institute of Urology closed, with all urological services being transferred to the Middlesex Hospital. [3]
Following this closure, the hospital building was taken over by the London School of Economics sometime between 1992 and 2008. The School performed two studies in 2008 and in 2010 announced their plans to demolish the building and replace it with a seven storey student union building with an initial cost of £21.5 million. [5] [6] In 2013 the construction of the Saw Swee Hock Student Centre was completed at a cost of £24.1 million, and it was opened in 2014. The building was named after Saw Swee Hock, a former student of the London School of Economics who received his PhD in statistics in 1963. [1] [7]

St George Hanover Square was a civil parish in the metropolitan area of Westminster, Middlesex, later Greater London, England. The creation of the parish accompanied the building of the Church of St George's, Hanover Square, constructed by the Commission for Building Fifty New Churches to meet the demands of the growing population. The parish was formed in 1724 from part of the ancient parish of St Martin in the Fields in the Liberty of Westminster and county of Middlesex. It included some of the most fashionable areas of the West End, including Belgravia and Mayfair. Civil parish administration, known as a select vestry, was dominated by members of the British nobility until the parish adopted the Vestries Act 1831. The vestry was reformed again in 1855 by the Metropolis Management Act. In 1889 the parish became part of the County of London and the vestry was abolished in 1900, replaced by Westminster City Council. The parish continued to have nominal existence until 1922. As created, it was a parish for both church and civil purposes, but the boundaries of the ecclesiastical parish were adjusted in 1830, 1835 and 1865.
The Cleveland Street Workhouse is a Georgian property in Cleveland Street, Marylebone, built between 1775 and 1778 for the care of the sick and poor of the parish of St Paul Covent Garden under the Old Poor Law. From 1836, it became the workhouse of the Strand Union of parishes. The building remained in operation until 2005 after witnessing the complex evolution of the healthcare system in England. After functioning as a workhouse, the building became a workhouse infirmary before being acquired by the Middlesex Hospital and finally falling under the NHS. In the last century it was known as the Middlesex Hospital Annexe and the Outpatient Department. It closed to the public in 2005 and it has since been vacated. On 14 March 2011 the entire building became Grade II Listed. Development of the site began in 2019 by current owner University College London Hospitals (UCLH) Charity as a mixed-use development including residential, commercial and open space, but construction has been held up by the necessity to remove human remains stemming from the use of the area around the workhouse as a parish burial ground between 1780 and 1853. There has also been controversy about the amount of social housing to be included in the development.
