Royal Eye Hospital

An adjoining house was acquired and the enlarged facilities were renamed the Surrey Ophthalmic Hospital in 1860.

In 1892 following the opening of a new enlarged building, designed by the architects Young and Hall, still in St George's Circus, it finally became known as the Royal Eye Hospital.

[1] In 1948 the hospital was incorporated into the newly founded National Health Service (NHS).

The building was used by local area health authorities before being left derelict and then demolished.

The site is now occupied by McLaren House, which is one of hall of residences for students at London South Bank University.
