The Lambeth Group Hospital Management Committee was formed in June 1948 by the South West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board to be responsible for the management of the Lambeth Group of Hospitals composed of: Lambeth hospital, the South London Hospital for Women and Children, Annie McCall Maternity Hospital and the South Western hospital. In October 1956 the group was enlarged by the addition of the Royal Eye Hospital, Southwark and its branch at Surbiton. Holmhurst Home, a halfway house for elderly patients, was opened in 1952, by the King's Fund and attached to the Lambeth Group. Records of all these hospital are held by the London Metropolitan Archives.

On 1 July 1964 Lambeth Hospital was transferred to the Saint Thomas' Hospital Group. Lambeth Group Hospital Management Committee amalgamated with Wandsworth Hospital Management Committee to form the South West London Hospital Group Hospital Management Committee. All other hospitals in the Lambeth Group also became part of the new group. In 1968 the South Western Hospital was transferred across to the Saint Thomas' Hospital Group.
