History

The National Heart Hospital was founded in 1857 in Margaret Street by Dr Eldridge Spratt. The hospital was relocated to Newman Street off Oxford Street around 1869 and then to Soho Square in 1874, with various changes of name en route, including in 1872 "The National Hospital for the special treatment of Paralysis, Epilepsy, Nervousness, and the Primary Stages of Insanity and other diseases from Affectations of the Heart." In 1913 new premises were constructed in the current location on Westmoreland Street near Harley Street. It was one the first hospitals in the world specifically built for the treatment of cardio-vascular disease, as well as for postgraduate training and research. In 1991 the hospital was closed and its services moved to the Royal Brompton Hospital. In 1994 the hospital building was sold to the private Gleneagles Hospital UK and in 1997 was re-opened as a private cardiac hospital, featuring new accommodation and equipment. After falling into debt as a private institution, the hospital re-joined the NHS in August 2001, when it was acquired by University College London Hospitals NHS Trust (now University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust). The hospital was renamed The Heart Hospital and re-opened as the new home for all of the trust's cardiac services, which had previously been based in the Middlesex Hospital.
