NEW LONDON AWARDS 2022

Shortlisted in the HEALTHCARE category and for the ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY PRIZE

This landmark new hospital provides 37,000m2 of contemporary facilities and houses one of just two NHS proton beam therapy centres in the UK, making it one of the leading oncology treatment hospitals in the world.
It is designed to remove stress from the patient journey, actively promote positive outcomes, and support patient recovery. It is characterised by a generosity of space, light, transparency, and sensory encounters, to offer a calming environment and respite from the busy city. A spacious, light- filled atrium brings natural daylight right through the building and into every inpatient room, particularly important to very long-term patients.
