- West London Hospital, opened in 1860; known for its maternity services in the 1970s
- Westminster Hospital in Horseferry Rd, and its medical school in Page Street
- Westminster Children's Hospital, originally on Vincent Sq.
The new hospital was designed by the architects Sheppard Robson. It displays many treasures from the old hospitals.

Services
Chelsea & Westminster maintains a range of medical and surgical acute services, as well as outpatient facilities and a 24hour Accident and Emergency department. In addition to these services, which are primarily aimed at local residents and visitors, the hospital is a specialist tertiary referral centre for many services, including: HIV and Genitourinary Medicine, Burns and Bariatric Surgery.
Hand Trauma
The hospital provides a number of services which include a specialist hand surgery/management unit sometimes known as HMU.
Access to these services is often made via GP referral. However, various A&E departments can make urgent tertiary referrals.
HIV / GUM
The hospital’s HIV/GUM Clinical Directorate was established in April 1991, and is today the largest specialist HIV unit in Europe,[13][14] caring for more than 5,000 [15] HIV patients, and enjoys a worldwide reputation as a centre of excellence in both the care of HIV-positive patients and a wide range of associated clinical research. Its director, Professor Brian Gazzard,[16][17] is one of the world's leading authorities on HIV, founded the British HIV Association, serves as Chairman of the British HIV Guidelines Writing Committee, and is a member of both the Scientific Committee of the World AIDS Congress and of the IAS USA Guidelines Committee.
The St Stephen’s Centre is also home to the core laboratory of the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative (IAVI).[18]
Education
In 1984, Westminster Hospital Medical School merged with the Charing Cross Hospital Medical School to form Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School. This was part of a series of mergers of London medical schools in the early 1980s, foreshadowing a larger series in the late 1990s, which brought all the institutes together into five large schools.
In 1997, as part of the second wave, CXWMS merged with Imperial College, London (and its medical department, St Mary's Hospital Medical School), the National Heart and Lung Institute, and the Royal Postgraduate Medical School, to form Imperial College School of Medicine. Chelsea & Westminster Hospital maintains strong ties with Imperial College School of Medicine and is a teaching hospital for students undergoing clinical attachments in various specialties.
