St James' Hospital (Balham): Closed and demolished in the late 1980s. Putney Hospital: Closed in 2004. Bolingbroke Hospital (Wandsworth Common): Closed in 2011. Queen Mary's Hospital for Children (Carshalton): Closed in 1993. Orchard Hospital (Carshalton): Closed around the early 2010s. Barnes Hospital: Closed in 2019. St Benedict's Hospital (Tooting): Closed in the early 1980s. [Long-stay] Bearsted Maternity Hospital (Hampton): Closed in 1969. Western Fever Hospital (Fulham/SW): Closed in 1979. Nelson Hospital (Merton): Primarily closed/redeveloped, though some services remained. Croydon General Hospital: Closed in the 1980s. St Stephen's Hospital (Chelsea): Closed in 1989 to become Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Lambeth Hospital: Closed in the 1990s. Tolworth Hospital: Significant downsizing and closures of wards. Many of these sites were redeveloped into housing or smaller community health centres. |
