Based on the site of an 18th Century hospital in Covent Garden, The Hospital has evolved into London’s pre-eminent centre for the Creative and Media communities.
I think I am gonna be sick......
Set over 7 floors, The Hospital is home to a Private Members Club with several bars and lounges, a Gallery, TV & Music recording studios.
The Hospital houses a Private Members Club, Gallery, TV & Music Recording Studios and Origin Bar & Dining Room. Its location, in Covent Garden, and the combination of businesses within it, makes the building unique. Covent Garden has long been a popular area for creative thinking, entrepreneurship and entertainment: all things The Hospital stands for. The building is in the Borough of Camden, on the border with Westminster, which between them are the base for the majority of creative professionals in London.
Our ambition is to create a club, and a wider international community of mutually supportive and enabling artists and media professionals.
The Hospital was the vision of Paul G. Allen co-founder of Microsoft and Dave Stewart, musician and producer. (Eurythmics)
