Description: | St. Thomas' Hospital. Showing part of the garden and the walkway bridge between the east and west wings.
Originally founded in 1106 as part of St. Mary Overie Southwark. During the early 13th century the hospital moved to Borough High Street, Southwark. In 1859 the site was acquired for London Bridge Railway Station and a new hospital was erected at Lambeth in 1886 and opened in 1871, designed by architect Henry Currey. On completion Florence Nightingale established her Training School of Nursing. During the World War II the hospital was damaged and a new east wing was rebuilt in 1966
