The Hospital (UK)

The Hospital (UK)

The Hospital is a creative arts venue and private members club for the creative industry which is based on the site of an 18th Century hospital in Covent Garden, London. It aims to be a space where creative people can meet and collaborate, as an antidote to London's existing Members Clubs. These were known as places to go for a night out, but not necessarily places members would go to network and create.

The club was founded by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen through his investment company Vulcan Inc. and David A. Stewart of the band Eurythmics.
