| Biography | Westminster Hospital was a hospital in London, England, founded in 1719. In 1834 a medical school attached to the hospital was formally founded. In 1939 a newly built hospital and medical school opened in Horseferry Rd. Westminster Hospital moved to become Chelsea and Westminster Hospital at the old St Stephen's Hospital site in 1994.
The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital was opened on the site once occupied by St Stephen's Hospital, and brought together staff, services and equipment from five London hospitals:
The Westminster Hospital in Horseferry Road (previously situated opposite Westminster Abbey) and its medical school in Page Street
Westminster Children's Hospital, originally in Vincent Square, then later amalgamated with the Westminster
West London Hospital, opened in 1860 and known from the early 1970s for its maternity services
St Mary Abbot's Hospital, an infirmary occupying the site of what had been the Kensington work house
