Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children


The Queen Elizabeth Hospital for Children in London was formed from the 1942 merger of the Queen's Hospital for Children in Bethnal Green and the Princess Elizabeth of York Hospital for Children, Shadwell. The Shadwell site was closed in 1963. In 1996 the hospital became part of The Royal Hospitals NHS Trust, later renamed Barts and The London NHS Trust. In 1998 the services carried out by the hospital were moved to within The Royal London Hospital, but retaining their separate identity.

As of 2014 the Bethnal Green site is being redeveloped by Rydon Homes and Family Mosaic Housing Association. A time capsule from the opening ceremony in May 1902 was discovered in December 2014, containing newspapers, a catalogue of donors, a hymn sheet and a ribbon from the ceremony.
