A hospital that does not feel like a hospital
With themed floors, a conservatory, rooms with views, sunlight and fresh air, Evelina London Children's Hospital was designed around the needs of children and their families.
It's a seven-storey glass-fronted building, featuring a four-storey conservatory and dramatic views of Lambeth Palace and Archbishop’s Park.
Inpatients are on the upper levels of the building, so children staying in hospital enjoy the best views. They also overlook the conservatory, the social heart of the building, housing a gallery and performance space and the hospital school.
Finding your way around
The building is themed around the natural world, from the sea at ground level to the sky at the top. It has visual symbols (see above) to make getting around easier and themed artwork on the floor of each level.
