1736年从泰晤士河上俯瞰萨沃伊
萨沃伊庄园以彼得的名字命名, 萨沃伊伯爵, 谁在1246年2月12日被亨利三世给了这块土地. He built a palace on this site but after his death in 1268 the property was left to a hospice in Savoy. However, his niece, Eleanor of Provence, Queen to Henry III bought back the land. The land was given to her son, Edmund Plantagenet, the first Earl of Lancaster. Successive Earls of Lancaster extended the site and furnished the Savoy Palace in wonderful style, 在冈特的约翰的努力下达到高潮, 用他从法国和西班牙战争中获得的战利品.
During the Peasant's Revolt of 1381, both John of Gaunt and his palace became a target. A crowd marched on London, burnt down the palace and destroyed its contents. The palace was not restored but rather modified to serve as a prison for the Duchy during the 15th and 16th centuries.
救济穷人的医院
直到1509年, 亨利七世死后, 为了更大的利益重建萨沃伊城堡. Henry VII left a substantial amount of money in his will for a hospital, built to provide relief for up to 100 paupers a night with a staff of doctors and nursing sisters. The last poor were admitted in 1642, the hospital then being used as barracks.
The hospital was completed in 1517 when the executors of Henry's will named it the Hospital of Henry VII King of England of the Savoy. Despite its good intentions, mismanagement and corruption sent the hospital into decline.
在17世纪的大部分时间里, 萨沃伊医院没有投入使用, housing wounded soldiers and eventually being transformed into a military barracks and prison.

The area further deteriorated with undesirables inhabiting the houses in the Strand, 在公爵巷和河边. Religious institutions also appeared such as a school of Jesuits and the area also provided a retreat for the families of poor French Protestants. In 1723 a German Lutheran Church was built on what is now part of the site occupied by the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
Parts of ancient Savoy remained until the beginning of the 19th century but most buildings were swept away for the construction of Waterloo Bridge (1817) and the Victoria Embankment (1870). With this regeneration, the Savoy was finally returning to a place of prestige.
