New Cancer Centre at Guy’s Hospital

London Bridge, London

title

The new Cancer Centre at Guy’s Hospital, designed by Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners and Stantec, opened in September 2016. It promises to be a hub for southeast London, providing specialist cancer services, training, development and research, which will help improve both cancer treatments and outcomes for patients. Applying a functional, state-of-the-art design, the centre is divided into ‘zones’ or ‘villages’, with most of the related treatment facilities grouped together in one place. Embedded artwork to the fabric and function of the building, together with light and outdoor spaces from balconies within each village, all play a key part in creating a positive experience for staff, patients and visitors.

The tour will also provide the chance to learn about many of the striking new buildings that are transforming London’s skyline.
