By 1859, the demand for more space for beds at St George's Hospital was at an all-time high, but Mr Atkinson Morley, one of the hospital's governors, and a wealthy hotel owner, left St George's £150,000 in his will. A plot of land in Wimbledon was purchased and the hospital built and opened in 1869. Originally opened as the first convalescent facility in the UK , but from 1942 the hospital went under a major change in use, from a convalescent facility to an internationally recognized neuroscience centre. Sadly the buildings were considered old and out of date and a new neuroscience wing was to be built at St George’s and Atkinson Morley closed in 2003.I dont even remember when I went round here,but I do remember meeting the old security guy out front after we did the insides..he knew we had been in,but didnt want any hassle I guess.

So much better when not all smashed to bits and get a proper feel for the place.
