Summary[edit]

Description

The present Victorian Chamberlain’s Wharf building, which houses the London Bridge Hospital’s Main Building, was built as a warehouse in the 1860s. It replaced earlier warehouses, which had been rebuilt several times and dated back to the seventeenth century. Before that time, the site had been occupied by one of the splendid ecclesiastic palaces, the Inn of St Augustine’s Abbey, which was turned into warehouses after Henry VIII closed down the monasteries and sold off church property. The previous Chamberlain’s Wharf buildings were destroyed in the disastrous Great Fire of Tooley Street, which burned out many hundreds of square feet of warehouses in 1861.

Chamberlain's was then rebuilt as a single building, with the ground plan of the old multiple building lending to its particular shape on the entrance front.
