The main entrance of Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Stadium Road, opposite Woolwich Common. The hospital was opened in 2001 to serve patients from the Boroughs of Greenwich and Bexley and to accommodate the services previously provided at the former Greenwich District Hospital. It is a Private Finance Initiative hospital. In April 2009, the hospital was part of a merger with Queen Mary's Sidcup NHS Trust and Bromley Hospitals NHS Trust to form South London Healthcare NHS Trust. The hospital's name reflects the existence of the Queen Elizabeth Military Hospital, that occupied the site from 1977 until its closure in 1995, and was named after Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. The military hospital was built on the site of the former Shrapnel Barracks and was a replacement for the Royal Herbert Hospital in Shooters Hill and Queen Alexandra's Military Hospital (Millbank).
