St George's Hospital opened in 1939 as Suttons Institution and was brought into use during the Second World War to house airmen at RAF Hornchurch. In 1948 it was renamed St George's and became part of the National Health Service. The site has been empty since 2012 and plans are in place for a new health centre on the site, with the remaining land being converted to housing. It is seen here from a footpath to the south which leads from Suttons Lane to Hornchurch Country Park.
