Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Gallery

Following the campaign to save the former Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital for Women in the Euston Road, London, the public-service-employee union Unison was given the go-ahead to build its new centre on the site. However, the core of this splendid building dating from 1890 has been preserved to become the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Gallery. Here a permanent exhibition, open to the public, tells the story of the hospital, its founder, and the wider context of women’s struggles to achieve parity with men in the field of medicine.
