St Philip's Hospital was a medical facility on Sheffield Street in London, originally formed on the site of the Bear Yard Infirmary.

[1] The Bear Yard Workhouse and Casual Wards were built in 1890, with the buildings (excluding the infirmary, which was still active in 1901) being demolished in 1900 and replaced by the Strand Union in 1903.

[1][3] In 1919, the site of the Sheffield Street workhouse was sold to the Metropolitan Asylum Board for £20,000 following an approach to the Ministry of Health by the Home Secretary at the time, Edward Shortt, in order to provide accommodation for the reception and treatment of women suffering from venereal disease (VD), and it was opened for this purpose in 1920.

[1][3] In 1930, the hospital came under the control of the London County Council and was expanded, with additional wards being built in the southern block known as Sheffield House, now being able to accommodate 52 patients.

In 1948 it joined the newly formed National Health Service, at which point it came under the control of the Paddington Group Hospital Management Committee.
