Sidcup Hospital is in Kent, England. Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup, was a world-renowned specialist centre for plastic and facial injuries during World War I. However, it did not serve as the primary facial injury centre in World War II. Due to its location under bomber flight paths to London, experts dispersed the specialist facial surgery services in 1938-1939 to safer locations like Rooksdown House. Originally known as The Queen's Hospital, it was opened in prefabricated buildings in the grounds of Frognal House on 18 August 1917.
