Overview
St Pancras Hospital was built in 1848 and proposals have been underway for several years to redevelop the site and use the proceeds from land sales to deliver brand new healthcare facilities for patients across Camden and Islington.
The NHS has already invested over £100 million in mental health facilities as a result of the St Pancras Hospital Transformation Programme. This has helped to fund the development of brand new healthcare facilities across both Camden and Islington.
As well as developing brand new facilities, the NHS is committed to keeping some healthcare services located on the St Pancras Hospital site. We are looking to bring these together in South Wing, which will be sensitively refurbished and repaired, while retaining the heritage and history of the original Victorian estate.
In addition, the St Pancras Hospital site will also be the home for Oriel – a new centre for Moorfields Eye Hospital that will bring the best in eye care services and clinical research together under one roof. This exciting development is already under construction and is planned to open in 2027.
Together, the St Pancras Hospital Transformation Programme, the development of Oriel, and the redevelopment of the site by the NHS’s commercial partner will transform what was a selection of poor and outdated NHS facilities. It will create a site that combines vital NHS services for local people, world-leading eye health research, and substantial new housing in the heart of King’s Cross.
The overall programme of work that is taking place across the St Pancras Hospital site is coordinated by North London NHS Foundation Trust.
