Originally founded as the "New Hospital for Women" in the 19th century to enable poor women to obtain medical help from qualified female practitioners (very unusual in those days). This building in Euston Road dates from 1890 and is Grade 1 listed. In 1918, it was renamed after Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, the first woman to become a member of the BMA. This Hospital was subsequently merged with the Obstetric Hospital and since 2000 has been housed elsewhere. The old building still houses a small museum dedicated to Elizabeth Gararett Anderson and the pioneering days of women's medicine.
