The Hospital Club was founded by Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) and Dave Stewart (of the Eurythmics), who transformed the abandoned St. Paul’s Hospital in London’s Covent Garden into a hub of creativity. Since 2004, the Hospital Club has offered people working in the creative industries a place to meet, network, and create. For the past 8 years, its h.Club 100 Awards have been celebrating the 100 most influential and innovative people in the UK’s creative industries. Nominated by the public and chosen by a panel of judges, the long list had 20 people from around the UK, and these were put to a public vote.
