The Dispensary was founded in 1770 as the General Dispensary, Aldersgate Street, and was also known as the Aldersgate Dispensary. It was renamed the Royal General Dispensary in 1844 and moved from 36 Aldersgate Street to 25 Bartholomew Close in 1850. The premises were rebuilt in 1879. In 1932, the Dispensary made arrangements for its medical and secretarial work to be undertaken by St Bartholomew's Hospital. The building in Bartholomew's Close was destroyed by enemy action in 1941. In 1948, the business of the Dispensary was finally wound up and amalgamated with St Bartholomew's Hospital.
