The German Hospital, Dalston, was a hospital in Dalston, East London, established in 1845 to offer free treatment to London’s then large German-speaking community[1] which was heavily concentrated in the East End
The hospital’s German speaking staff remained on site during World War I, but were interned in World War II with their places taken by British staff.
The hospital, popularly known as ‘The German’, closed in 1987 and patients were transferred to Homerton Hospital. Some of its buildings are now used for affordable housing. Parts of the buildings are grade II listed.[2]
