Coppetts Wood Hospital was a hospital in Muswell Hill, London. It was managed by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.
History[]
The hospital had its origins in an isolation hospital for residents in the Hornsey area which was built at Coppetts Wood between 1887 and 1888.[1][2] It was extended in 1894 and expanded to take patients from the Finchley and Wood Green areas from 1922.[2] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[1]
In the late 1960s the infectious diseases department of the Royal Free Hospital transferred to the hospital at Coppetts Wood.[2] However, in the late 1990s, all services transferred back to the Royal Free Hospital and Coppetts Wood Hospital closed in 2000.[2]
