Animal Hospital is a British television show starring Australian singer and TV presenter Rolf Harris that ran on BBC One from 29 August 1994 to 13 September 2004. Later episodes featured Phil Dixon.[1] The series featured animal welfare stories from many RSPCA hospitals, including: Harmsworth Animal Hospital in North London.

Locations

Harmsworth Animal Hospital in North London[2] was the first of three RSPCA hospitals that opened their doors to allow the BBC to produce this factual television show which ran for over a decade. The programmes were presented by Rolf Harris. After Harmsworth, the series moved to the Putney Animal Hospital in South London,[3] and then to Salford Animal Hospital in Greater Manchester.

In 2015, the RSPCA announced that the animal hospital in Putney, South London would be closed.[3] The animal hospitals at Sonderburg Road in Islington, North London,[4] and Eccles New Road, Salford, Greater Manchester remain open.[5]
