 Denmark Hill is home to two of London's largest hospitals, the general King's College Hospital (part of King's College London) which moved to the site from its original central London location in 1913, and the Maudsley psychiatric hospital.It is believed by historians that 168, 170 and 172 Denmark Hill were designed by noted architect and prison designer William Blackburn due their similarity in architectural style to his other buildings.However, as the original documentation relating to the construction of these houses has been lost or destroyed, it has proved impossible to confirm this.
