St Thomas's, one of the great London hospitals, dates from 1553, and is now housed in seven four-storied red-brick pavilions, a spacious but ugly building standing opposite the Houses of Parliament, on the south side of the Thames. The present edifice cost £500,000. The revenue of the hospital is about £40,000. It treats annually 6000 in-patients and over 60,000 out-patients.
