We are sharing beautiful historic imagery of our first purpose-built premises on Pembroke Place– which is still a key part of the LSTM campus.

Constructed in 1914, the old school building was originally used as a hospital for tropical diseases during the First World War. LSTM were first able to move into its new home in 1920.

It included a museum, lecture rooms, research laboratories and an insectary on the roof.

Take a look at how the building façade, grand hallways, library and study space looked in these amazing photographs (below), taken in 1920.

Throughout LSTM’s 125 years, we have been leading the way in global health research, including in many of the same buildings and spaces as a century ago – though thankfully now with much more modern facilities!
