South London’s finest rugby club. We’re an open and welcoming club, founded in 1869. We host two adult teams. Youth rugby in the form of the KCH Pirates. And we allow the veterans to run around under the banner of the KIPirS. King’s College Hospital RFC is an open rugby union club founded in the 19th century as a football club whose representatives were made up of medics from King’s College Hospital. In its original form it was one of the twenty-one founding members of the Rugby Football Union, and produced a number of international players in the sport’s early international fixtures. The merging of King’s College Hospital medical department in 1999 with the already merged Guy’s Hospital and St Thomas’ Hospital led to the creation of Guy’s, Kings and St. Thomas’ Rugby Football Club, an amalgam of three formerly distinct hospital rugby clubs each with a long history. King’s College Hospital Rugby Football Club opted to remain a separate club in so doing became an open rugby club to everyone. We still have very strong link to King’s College Hospital, King’s College London University and wider community. Come on down and say hello.
