St Thomas' Hospital is a large NHS teaching hospital in Central London, England, usually known as St Thomas's Hospital until the late 20th century. Administratively part of the Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, together with Guy's Hospital and King's College Hospital it provides the location of the King's College London School of Medicine. Originally located in Southwark, but based in Lambeth since 1871, the hospital has provided health care freely or under charitable auspices since the 12th century. It is one of London's most famous hospitals, associated with names such as Astley Cooper, William Cheselden, Florence Nightingale, Linda Richards, Edmund Montgomery and Agnes Elizabeth Jones. It is a prominent London landmark - largely due to its location on the opposite bank of the River Thames to the Houses of Parliament. St Thomas' Hospital is accessible from Westminster tube station (a ten-minute walk across Westminster bridge), Waterloo station (tube and national rail, also a ten-minute walk) and Lambeth North tube station (another ten-minute walk).
