St. Thomas's Hospital, Surrey Gardens, 1862. Creator: T. H. W
St. Thomas's Hospital, Surrey Gardens, [London], 1862. The following decided opinion has been expressed by a leading medical journal, the Lancet: "The rapid and complete conversion and adaptation of the old buildings to their new and beneficent uses is one of the many surprising illustrations of the power of modern organisation and skill. The main building is replete with every contrivance for the convenience and cure of the sick, whilst the most efficient arrangements have been made for the school, with its appurtenances in the shape of museums, libraries, and dissecting-rooms, in detached buildings on the grounds. The gardens, extending over more than twelve acres, have been carefully restored, and will present a feature novel amongst metropolitan hospitals. The student will here, in modern academic groves, pursue his studies in a little oasis of quiet and beauty, including every appliance for health, comfort, and relaxation, situated in the centre of an enormous population, such as can alone require a large hospital and supply the elements of medical, surgical, and obstetrical education. The patients themselves will enjoy the advantages of free air, repose, pleasant prospects, and exercise to an extent unknown in other London hospitals". From "Illustrated London News", 1862
