This is now closed and boarded up.

These large detached houses are on the north side of Copse Hill opposite the old Atkinson Morley Hospital which is being developed into luxury housing by the Berkeley Group.

Not yet open and surrounded by screens, this stop is somewhat west of the current stop for route 200. Both are turn round stops, the bus departing the way it came. Repositioning is consequent to the redevelopment of the old hospital site.

The hospital was opened in 1869 following a donation of £100,000 by Mr Atkinson Morley, a wealthy hotelier and landowner, to St George's Hospital "for receiving, maintaining, and generally assisting convalescent poor patients". Mr Atkinson Morley had been a medical student at St George's Hospital, Hyde Park Corner about 1800. The hospital remained a convalescent home until 1939. During World War II, when the Bolingbroke and St. George’s acted as emergency hospitals for war casualties, the Neurosurgery Unit was established at the AMH by the neurosurgeon Sir Wylie McKissock. As the Regional Neurosciences Unit for South West London, the hospital even had its own helicopter landing facility. The hospital remained open until 2003. There are now plans to convert it to residential accommodation. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atkinson_Morley_Hospital

This large building site (and tower crane) is on Copse Hill. The development is part of the conversion of the former Atkinson Morley Hospital (AMH). The last section of the hospital was closed in 2012. In the foreground, is a bus stop on Atkinson close, used by the No.200 Bus between Mitcham and Raynes Park.
