The origins of this hospital go back to a workhouse established in 1612. During WW1 it became the Lewisham Military Hospital, and after further extensions it became the University Hospital Lewisham in 1993. A major development in 2007 called Lewisham Riverside was opened by Archbishop Desmond Tutu. In 2012, a proposal to close its A&E Department was overturned by a massive public reaction. Officially, University Hospital Lewisham, it is run by the Lewisham and Greenwich NHS Trust.
