In 1868, the North Eastern Hospital for Children opened on this site. In 1908 it was renamed the Queen's Hospital for Children, and in 1942 after amalgamation with another similar institution from Shadwell, the present name was adopted. However, in 1998 the services of this hospital were transferred to the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel.
