In 1838, the surgeon James Yearsley founded the Metropolitan Ear Nose and Throat Hospital, in Sackville Street, W1. It was the first hospital to specialise in diseases of the Ear, Nose and Throat. The hospital moved to Fitzroy Square in 1911, where it remained until the Second World War. During the war the hospital was severely damaged by bombing, and was evacuated to Watford but retained a clinic in London for treatment of outpatients and emergencies. In 1949 it moved again, to No. 5 Collingham Gardens, Earls Court. The hospital was transferred to Saint Mary Abbots Hospital in 1953, where it retained its identity as a specialist hospital until 1985 when it was removed from the control of Saint Mary Abbots and became part of the Ear, Nose and Throat Department of the new Charing Cross Hospital.
