Greenwich District Hospital

Greenwich District Hospital was an acute district general hospital situated in the Maze Hill district of Greenwich, London. It was built in the 1960s on the site of St Alfege's Hospital, Greenwich.

The hospital had its origins in St Alfege's Hospital in Greenwich which by the 1960s was in need of replacement. In order to build a hospital with a large enough capacity for the requirements of the local population on a small site , a single large building was designed - Pevsner described it as "an unusually large enterprise to be undertaken by the Department of Health and Social Security ". The new hospital was fully open by 1972, and it also absorbed services previously provided at the Miller General Hospital in west Greenwich, which finally closed in 1974.
