Charing Cross Hospital, London

Charing Cross Hospital is a hospital in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, to the west of the city centre of London.

Despite its name, the hospital is actually located a good distance from Charing Cross. It got its name because it was established there in 1823. At that time, it was located at Villiers Street at Charing Cross, and was originally known as the West London Infirmary. In 1827, it changed its name to Charing Cross Hospital.

In 1834 it relocated to new premises on Agar Street. After the Second World War, a proposal was made to move it out of Central London. In 1973, Charing Cross Hospital relocated to Fulham Palace Road, to the site of the old Fulham Hospital. However, it retains its name till today.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
