St Bartholomew's Hospital, also known simply as Barts, is a hospital in Smithfield in the City of London.
Barts is the oldest hospital in London, having been founded in 1123, and the oldest in the United Kingdom that still occupies its original site. London's only statue of King Henry VIII is located above a gate at the hospital.
Barts is part of Barts Health NHS Trust.
