HistoryQueen Charlotte’s and Chelsea Hospital is one of the oldest maternity hospitals in Europe and until around 1999 occupied a site at 339-351 Goldhawk Road Hammersmith London W6 0XG. It is suggested that the maternity hospital originated in 1739 when Sir Richard Manningham founded a hospital in a 17 room house in Jermyn Street. This was called the General Lying in Hospital. In 1810 Queen Charlotte became its patron.
