Historia
Atkinson Morley Hospital, Copse Hill, Wimbledon was founded in 1869, following a donation from Atkinson Morley, as a convalescent home for patients at Saint George's Hospital. Atkinson Morley was a Governor of Saint George's. During the Second World War, a neurosurgery unit was established at the hospital by Sir Wylie McKissock. After the war, it was decided to develop the hospital as a neuroscience centre and to gradually reduce its use as a convalescent home. In 2003, the neurology services were relocated to a purpose built wing at Saint George's Hospital, Tooting and the hospital closed. The Wolfson Rehabilitation Centre remained on the site in Wimbledon.
