By the 1960s it was in decline and in 1974 it was closed on completion of the new Queen Mary's Hospital at Sidcup.

Subsequently it has formed part of a leisure complex.

Built in 1882, by the grandly named Chislehurst, Sidcup and Cray Valley Medical and Surgical Aid Society and opening two years later, this hospital had a variety of uses in its 90 year history.

Extended on a number of occasions and substatially rebuilt in 1924, by the 1940s it was one of the area's leading hospitals.

Mostly a general unit, it has also had periods as both a maternity and a geriatric hospital.
