Purley War Memorial Hospital

Following an £11.15m refurbishment, Purley War Memorial Hospital reopened in 2013. This historic building now houses a modern outpatient facility.

It is Croydon Health Services NHS Trust's satellite hospital located in the south of Croydon, offering services that do not require an overnight stay, as the hospital does not have in-patient beds.
