1866 – Kings College Hospital, London

Architect: Thomas Bellamy

0215

King’s was originally opened in 1840 in the disused St Clements Dane workhouse in Portugal Street close to Lincoln’s Inn Fields. It was used as a training facility where medical students of King’s College London could practice and receive instruction from the college’s own professors. Now a very large complex of buildings of differing eras.
