EDITORS COMMENTS
A New Era of Healing: The Opening of Westminster Hospital in April 1939 Westminster Hospital, a historic institution in the heart of London, was set to begin a new chapter in its long-standing history with the opening of its newly built facilities on April 20, 1939. Founded in 1719, Westminster Hospital had been a beacon of medical care and innovation for over two centuries. In 1834, a medical school was formally attached to the hospital, further solidifying its reputation as a leader in medical education and research. As the date of the grand opening approached, anticipation and excitement filled the air. The newly constructed hospital and medical school, located on Horseferry Road in Westminster, were a testament to the advancements in healthcare architecture and technology of the time. The modern facilities were designed to provide the best possible care for patients and to accommodate the latest medical research and teaching methods. The royal family was invited to attend the opening ceremony, and on the day of the event, His Majesty King George VI and Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth were greeted with a warm welcome. The King, dressed in his regal attire, cut the ribbon to officially open the new Westminster Hospital. The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, marking the beginning of a new era in the hospital's storied history. This photograph captures a momentous occasion in the annals of Westminster Hospital's past, as it looks towards a future filled with hope, progress, and continued dedication to the health and wellbeing of its patients.
