Atkinson Morley
Architect: John Crawley
Patients: Latterly used for neurosciences
Closed: 2003
Other: A wing of nearly St Georges is now named after this hospital
By 1859, the demand for more space for beds at St George's Hospital was at an all-time high, but Mr Atkinson Morley, one of the hospital's governors, and a wealthy hotel owner, left St George's £150,000 in his will. A plot of land in Wimbledon was purchased and the hospital built and opened in 1869.
Originally opened as the first convalescent facility in the UK , but from 1942 the hospital went under a major change in use, from a convalescent facility to an internationally recognized neuroscience centre.
Sadly the buildings were considered old and out of date and a new neuroscience
wing was to be built at St George’s and Atkinson Morley closed.
It now awaits redevelopment predictably housing, but the original hospital building has strong local interest and is apparently listed, additions such as the nurse’s 
block are bound to go (its ugly!)
The best feature of the hospital for me was the CT scanners which amazingly are still in situ! The rest of the building is very stripped but there are some interesting features such as the spiral staircases and the lecture theatre.
