Join In! 'Our Hospital: Exploring the Heritage of St George's Hospital' Exhibition Tour
15 October 2025
Last June, Arts St Georges launched their new exhibition 'Our Hospital: Exploring the Heritage of St George's Hospital'. Located on the ground floor corridor of Lanesborough Wing at St George's Hospital, this exhibition traces the history of the hospital from its origins at Hyde Park Corner to Tooting.
For the first time, this exhibition brings together artworks from the St George’s Art and Heritage Collection, and items generously reproduced from the City St George’s Archives and Special Collection to share the heritage of the buildings and previous hospitals that form St George's Hospital as it is today.
From November 2025, we will be launching a series of free exhibition tours which will take place on site at St George's Hospital, Tooting. The tour will take place on the first Tuesday of the month. On the 30-minute tour you will hear more stories of the history of the hospital and learn about some highlights of the exhibition!

The 'Our Hospital: conserving, curating and responding to St George’s Art and Heritage Collection’ is a three-year project, funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund and made possible by money raised by National Lottery players. The project is focusing on conserving, cataloguing, reinterpreting and digitising St George’s Hospital’s unique Art and Heritage Collection so it can be enjoyed by many more people.
