Charing Cross Hospital is a hospital in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, to the west of the city centre of London.
Despite its name, the hospital is actually located a good distance from Charing Cross. It got its name because it was established there in 1823. At that time, it was located at Villiers Street at Charing Cross, and was originally known as the West London Infirmary. In 1827, it changed its name to Charing Cross Hospital.
