The Brown Institution in Wandsworth Road, Vauxhall, was founded in 1871 as Britain's first animal hospital and veterinary research laboratory. It was named after Thomas Brown, who left £20,000 to the University of London to endow a charitable trust. The hospital was closed after being bombed five times during World War II.
