The closed St Georges Hospital, Hornchurch awaits its fate for redevelopment.
St George’s Hospital was opened in 1939 It was called Suttons Institution. Playing a part during WWII it housed airmen from the local RAF Hornchurch. After the war it became part of the NHS and was renamed in 1948 as St George’s. The hospital closed in 2012 and the site was transferred into the ownership of NHS Property Services. Plans are in place to convert the site into a new multi million pound health care centre and the surrounding land used for new 290 new homes. An appeal was won by the NHS in July 2017 for the plans to go ahead. Visited the site in November 2014, the site had been stripped and was awaiting redevelopment.
