Sion Hospital was formally separated from Sion College by Act of Parliament in 1875, to administer charitable payments to pensioners from the revenues of estates given to it. Sion College had formerly maintained a number of almspeople at its buildings on London Wall, but these had been removed in 1845 beacuse of poor conditions. Plans for re-establishing them came to nothing. Sion Hospital's supporting estates comprised some of the College's estates in Essex and Hertfordshire and one quarter of the London property. It was run by twelve Trustees, consisting of 8 Fellows or ex-Fellows of Sion College and 4 appointees of the Charity Commissioners. Meetings were held at Sion College. Candidates for pensions were nominated by various bodies. Sion Hospital was wound up in 1957.

The records of Sion Hospital were deposited by the Merchant Taylors' Company in 1996 and by Sion College in 1960. They were catalogued by members of Guildhall Library staff in 1964 and 2002. The Guildhall Library Manuscripts Section merged with the London Metropolitan Archives in 2009.
