The Royal London Hospital was founded in September 1740 when seven men met in the Feathers Tavern in Cheapside, London and was originally named The London Infirmary. The name changed to The London Hospital in 1748 and then to The Royal London Hospital on its 250th anniversary in 1990. The first patients were treated at a house in Featherstone Street , Moorfields in November 1740. In May 1741, the hospital moved to Prescot Street , and remained there until 1757 when it moved to its current location on the south side of Whitechapel Road , Whitechapel, in the London Borough of Tower Hamlets. In 1785 the London Hospital Medical College (the first hospital based medical school in England ), was founded by William Blizard and James Maddocks.
