Abstract
Several of London's major hospitals were founded in the first half of the 18th century. The Westminster Hospital was built in Petty France in 1719, St George's at Hyde Park Corner in 1732, the Royal London at Moorfields in 1740 and the Middlesex Hospital in Windmill Street, Soho in 1745. Guy's Hospital, founded in 1721, was a product of this voluntary hospital movement, in which charity hospitals, supported by individual contributions, but not by the State, were established in response to a range of scientific, social and humanitarian motives, some of them at a time of austerity following the war against France.
