In 1883 the Corporation built an isolation hospital for sick and quarantined seamen at Denton, in Gravesend, Kent. (Although there were some 30 riparian authorities in London, none had made provision for sea-borne infections.)
The Hospital, known variously as the Port of London Sanitary Hospital, the Port Sanitary Hospital and Denton Isolation Hospital, opened in April 1884. It was believed to be the only hospital of its kind in the country. Neither the patients nor the ship owners were charged for the care and treatment.
