Belgrave Hospital for Children, a voluntary hospital, was founded in 1866. New buildings were constructed at no 1 Clapham Road, London SW9 (Kennington, Lambeth) between 1899 and 1926 to an innovative design. Under the National Health Service Act (1946), in 1948 the hospital was amalgamated with King's College Hospital as part of the King's College Hospital Group (a teaching group managed by a Board of Governors), but remained a children's hospital. The Belgrave Hospital for Children closed after a new hospital, the Variety Club Children's Hospital, opened in 1985. The building was restored in the 1990s after some years of neglect.

Case notes were transferred to the Royal College of Physicians in 1965-1966.

In 1984 the transfer of papers, including case notes of the Belgrave Hospital, from the Royal College of Physicians to King's College London Archives was agreed. In 1990 Martin Mottram retrieved the minute book from the derelict hospital and gave it to King's College London Archives. The admissions register was retrieved from the derelict hospital by Patricia Methven, King's College Archivist.
