Royal London Hospital

The Royal London Hospital, formerly the London Hospital, is a hospital in Whitechapel, London.

One of its claims to fame is its connection with Joseph Merrick, the "Elephant Man".

It is the base for the HEMS helicopter ambulance service, operating out of a specially rebuilt roof area.

Its medical college, the first in England and Wales, was founded in 1785. It amalgamated in 1995 with that of Barts, under the aegis of Queen Mary, University of London, to become Barts and The London, Queen Mary's School of Medicine and Dentistry.
