Information About

Albion Hospital




Albion Hospital is a fictional hospital in the long-running British Science Fiction Television series '' Doctor Who ''. It appears in the 2005 Series in three episodes, '' Aliens Of London '', and the two-part '' The Empty Child '' and '' The Doctor Dances ''. Although the building is supposed to be in London , the location used for filming Albion Hospital was actually the Cardiff Royal Infirmary.

The hospital first appeared in ''Aliens of London'' (set in 2006) when the military evacuated it of its patients and used to house and examine an apparent Alien corpse retrieved from a spaceship that had crashed in the River Thames . The hospital, in this episode, appeared to have been selected because it was near the river itself.

The next time Albion Hospital appeared in ''The Empty Child'', set in 1941, its location was near the Limehouse Green Railway Station . However, when seen from a distance, the hospital seemed to be located on a small hill, and did not seem to show the river anywhere nearby. In ''The Empty Child'' and ''The Doctor Dances'' the hospital was where the Child's plague started, a disease that turned its victims into Gas Mask ed zombies.

Albion Hospital was also mentioned by name in dialogue in the Big Finish Productions audio play '' UNIT : The Longest Night''.

It remains to be seen if Albion Hospital will appear again in the next series of ''Doctor Who''.
