Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital, Victorian women's hospital in Camden, England

The Elizabeth Garrett Anderson and Obstetric Hospital stands on Euston Road with its Grade II listed architecture displaying Victorian medical design principles.

The institution opened in 1866 as the New Hospital for Women, marking a milestone as the first London hospital operated entirely by female medical practitioners.

This medical facility advanced women's roles in healthcare by providing a space where female physicians could practice and treat female patients exclusively.

The building now houses the UNISON Centre and includes the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Gallery, which documents the evolution of women in British medicine.

Each room in the former hospital maintains original Victorian medical features, including specialized ventilation systems and ward layouts from the 1890s.
