St Luke's Printing Works was the owned by the Bank of England for printing bank notes from 1917 to 1958. It occupied the site of the former St Luke's Hospital for Lunatics, an asylum rebuilt in 1782–1784 by George Dance the Younger. The building was damaged by the Blitz of 1940, and the printing works were relocated in 1958 to Debden, Essex.{{cite web|title=St Lukes-Woodside Hospital|url=https://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/stlukeswoodside.html|publisher=Lost Hospitals of London|accessdate=25 February 2020}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.bankofengland.co.uk/museum/whats-on/2018/feliks-topolski/history-of-banknote-printing|title = A history of banknote printing at the Bank of England}}{{cite book|author=Elizabeth Hennessy|title=A Domestic History of the Bank of England, 1930-1960|url=https://archive.org/details/domestichistoryo00henn|url-access=registration|date=23 July 1992|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-521-39140-5|page=[https://archive.org/details/domestichistoryo00henn/page/n193 168]}}{{cite book|author=A.
