Around 150 people were evacuated from the basement and ground floor of a building at Guy's Hospital in central London after reports of a chemical incident, London Fire Brigade (LFB) said.
The brigade sent two fire engines, two fire rescue units, a command unit and specialist hazardous materials officers after being called to the hospital, near London Bridge railway station, at 08:49 BST.
LFB said its crews carried out "operations to ventilate the building".
The incident was resolved just after 11:00. Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust has been approached for comment.
Guy's is a 400-bed major London teaching and research hospital that provides cancer treatment and other services including dentistry and orthopaedics to patients.
