Fulham Hospital began life as the Fulham Union Infirmary in 1884 and was based in St Dunstan's Road. On the same site and closely associated with the Infirmary were Fulham Union Workhouse and Parsons Green Receiving Home for Children, all run by the Fulham Board of Guardians. The hospital became a training school for nurses in 1898.

At the beginning of WW1 wounded soldiers from the Ypres battleground were brought to Fulham. In 1915 the War Office took over the workhouse and Infirmary - as it did with several other Poor Law institutions - and they became the Fulham Military Hospital. In 1925 it was renamed St Christopher's Hospital but one month later the decision was reversed and the name became 'Fulham Hospital' (not to be confused with the Fulham Hospital in Seagrave Road, which became the Western Hospital in 1885, see H78).

On the creation of the National Health Service (NHS) in 1948, the hospital came under the administration of the Chelsea & Kensington Hospital Management Committee. In 1959 it became part of the Charing Cross Group in anticipation of the building of a new Charing Cross hospital on its site which would incorporate the services of Fulham Hospital.

Fulham Hospital closed in January 1973 and services were transferred to the new Charing Cross Hospital built on the same site. The new hospital merged the services of Fulham Hospital and Charing Cross Hospital and later West London Hospital.
