The actual name of this hospital is The United Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital and The Hospital for Women Soho I am sure it must have closed as they couldn’t afford the printing costs for the letterheads!
Partly it seems named after a quite extraordinary woman, in 1866 she was appointed general medical attendant to St Mary's Dispensary, a London institution started to enable poor women to obtain medical help from qualified practitioners of their own sex. The dispensary soon developed into the New Hospital for Women, and there Dr Garrett worked for over twenty years. In 1870 she obtained the University of Paris degree of MD, and was also made one of the visiting physicians of the East London Hospital for Children.
In 1873 she gained membership of the British Medical Association and remained
the only woman member for 19 years, due to the Association's vote against the admission of further women — "one of several instances where Garrett, uniquely, was able to enter a hitherto all male medical institution which subsequently moved formally to exclude any women who might seek to follow her."
Elizabeth worked steadily at the development of the New Hospital for Women, and (from 1874) at the creation of the London School of Medicine for Women. Both institutions have since been handsomely and suitably housed and equipped, the New hospital for Women (in the Euston Road) for many years being worked entirely by medical women, and the schools (in Hunter Street, WC1) having over 200 students, most of them preparing for the medical degree of London University (the present-day University College London), which was opened to women in 1877. In 1897 Dr Garrett Anderson was elected president of the East Anglian branch of 
the British Medical Association.
On 9 November 1908 she was elected mayor of Aldeburgh, the first female mayor in England .
She died in 1917 and the New hospital was named after her the following year!
The site now is in quite a state, totally stripped, not even a toilet left! Unison bought the building in 2005 but discussions are still continuing as to quite what to do with the space. Parts are Grade II listed ... and looking at all the trouble contractors have gone to shore up parts of the buildings ... it would seem that it’s the part with the most damage! One section has completely moved away from the rest of the building, you can almost put your fingers down the cracks!
Found the mortuary too ... but sadly the slab has gone
