Colindale Hospital
The Central London District Sick Asylum was built in 1898-1900 at Colindale, Hendon. Its layout was based on the pavilion system with separate blocks connected by a central linking corridor. Ward blocks were provided for TB patients, children and casualty cases. In 1913 the hospital was sold and renamed the Hendon Infirmary, in 1919 it was taken over by the Asylums Board and used as male TB sanatorium. A V-1 flying bomb hit Colindale Hospital on 1 July 1944, killing four members of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force. The hospital later came under control of the London County Council and in 1948 renamed Colindale Hospital.
The hospital started to wind down in 1996 and fully closed in 2008 and was mostly demolished soon afterwards.
