The Santa Claus Children's Home, Cholmeley Park, Highgate, was set up by the Santa Claus Society, a children's charity, in 1891. It was a voluntary children's hospital until 1948 when it became a children's convalescent home.

Also in 1948, when the National Health Service was introduced, the home came under the control of the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board and the Archway Group Hospital Management Committee. It was finally closed around 1954.
