History
Medical services have been delivered on the Whittington site since 1473 when a leper hospital was founded In 1848 a new hospital was built on the St Marys site to care for patients with smallpox during the period of epidemic
Independently managed hospitals were opened on the Highgate site in 1866 and the Archway site in 1877 In 1900 Highgate Hill Infirmary opened adjacent to the Smallpox and Vaccination Hospital The two hospitals soon amalgamated and the Smallpox Hospital was transformed into a nurses home
In 1946 the hospitals on all three sites were brought together The three hospitals had between them almost 2000 beds
With the coming of the National Health Service in 1948 they jointly became The Whittington Hospital and began to modernise The hospital is now on the central St Marys site and has 470 beds
