The Whitechapel Hospital was founded on September 23, 1740. This hospital is the setting of chapter eighteen in The Story of a Modern Woman, where Mary and Alison meet with Dr. Dunlop Strange to become students at the hospital. It is currently located on Whitechapel Road in London. In 1990, the Queen visited for its 250th anniversary and added "royal" to the title of the hospital name as it is now known as the Royal London Hospital.
