The National Temperance Hospital is a former hospital in Hampstead Road, London, between Mornington Crescent and Warren Street.



History


The hospital opened as the London Temperance Hospital on 6 October 1873[1] by initiative of the National Temperance League,[2] and was managed by a board of 12 teetotallers.[3] Under its rules, the use of alcohol to treat patients was discouraged, but not outlawed: doctors could prescribe alcohol when they thought necessary for exceptional cases.[4]


In 1931, Chicago magnate Samuel Insull donated $160,000 to build a new extension, the "Insull Memorial wing"[5] which was designed in the Art Deco style by architect William Binnie.[6]


It was renamed the National Temperance Hospital in 1932 and incorporated into the National Health Service in 1948 under the management of the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board.[3]


After the hospital was closed in 1990,[3] its exterior featured in an episode of Mr. Bean, broadcast in October 1995, in which Bean tailgates an ambulance and stops behind it before entering the hospital.[7] It was briefly considered, but rejected, as a potential site for the National Institute for Medical Research between 2006 and 2007.[8]


The building was used by Camden Collective, a regeneration initiative, from 2015 to 2017.[9] In 2017 demolition began as part of the work necessary to clear the area for the proposed High Speed 2 railway line.[10]

Volkswagen Group MQB platform

Image
The Volkswagen Group MQB platform is the company's strategy for shared modular design construction of its transverse, front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout (optional front-engine, four-wheel-drive layout) automobiles. Volkswagen spent roughly $60bn [1] developing this new platform and the cars employing it. The platform underpins a wide range of cars from the supermini class to the mid size SUV class. MQB allows Volkswagen to assemble any of its cars based on this platform across all of its MQB ready factories. This allows the Volkswagen group flexibility to shift production as needed between its different factories. Beginning in 2012, Volkswagen Group marketed the strategy under the code name MQB , which stands for Modularer Querbaukasten , translating from German to "Modular Transversal Toolkit" or "Modular Transverse Matrix". [2] [3] MQB is one strategy within VW's overall MB (Modularer Baukasten or modular matrix) program which also includes th...
