South Park Hospital – Children’s Ward Filming Location
The show was largely filmed at Bolton General Hospital in Greater Manchester. However, in the early series, Withington Hospital, South Manchester was used for the external shots as shown below.
Withington Hospital has since been rebuilt a little further down the street, however the original frontage of the building used for the external shots of South Park Hospital in the early series remains.
