Administrative / biographical background

St Thomas' Home is the part of St Thomas' Hospital which provides for private paying patients. The principle of accepting paying patients was accepted by the Governors in November 1878, and two wards Adelaide and Alice, were opened as St Thomas' Home in March 1881. On the completion of Gassiot House in 1906 the Home moved into the bottom two floors. It was closed to patients on the outbreak of the Second World War in 1939, and the space was used to house members of the administrative and medical staff. It reopened in 1950 in Gassiot House, and in 1966 moved to Simon Ward in the East Wing of the new hospital buildings.
