The St Philip's Hospital was a medical facility at Sheffield Street in London.

History

The hospital was established in a former workhouse infirmary building as a hospital specialising in the treatment of women suffering from venereal disease in 1920.[1] It became the Sheffield Street Hospital in 1930 and joined the National Health Service in 1948.[1] After venereal disease became less prevalent, the hospital joined the Institute of Urology (formed by St Peter's Hospital and St Paul's Hospital) in 1952.[1] The hospitals became known as "the three Ps."[1] After all urology services were transferred to the Middlesex Hospital, the institute closed in 1992.[1] The hospital was subsequently demolished and the site is now occupied by the Saw Swee Hock Student Centre.[2]
