Brief history of the League
Miss Eva Luckes, Matron 1880-1919 wrote an annual letter to her nurses describing the hospital's year and giving details of both past and present staff. From that time 'The London's' nurses have always been closely linked together. 
In 1919, after the First World War when women were given the vote, State Registration for nurses was introduced. Miss Monk , who succeeded Miss Luckes as matron, saw the need for a professional association and in 1931 she founded The London Hospital League of Nurses. Currently it has over 1500 members in the UK and abroad
