Guy's Hospital, Teaching hospital in Southwark, United Kingdom
The hospital complex includes a prominent 34-floor Tower Wing that rises 148 meters above central London near London Bridge Station.
Thomas Guy, who made his fortune printing Bibles and investing in the South Sea Company, established the hospital in 1721 to treat patients rejected by other facilities.
The hospital chapel contains an 18th-century marble tomb sculpture by John Bacon commemorating the life and contributions of founder Thomas Guy.
The medical center operates an urgent care department from 8 AM to 8 PM daily, handling non-emergency cases through the National Health Service system.
The Tower Wing remained the tallest hospital building globally from its completion in 1974 until 1988, marking a period of architectural innovation in medical facilities.
