The hospital had its origins in the Camberwell Workhouse Infirmary which was completed in 1875.[1][2] A large circular tower was added in 1890 and further ward blocks were completed in 1903.[1] It became the Camberwell Parish Infirmary in 1913 and St Giles' Hospital in 1930.[1] It was hit by a V-1 flying bomb during the Second World War.[3] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and closed in 1983.[3] The circular tower, which is a grade II listed building,[4] has since been converted for residential use.[3]
