The London Clinic is a private healthcare organisation and registered charity[1] based on the corner of Devonshire Place and Marylebone Road in central London. According to HealthInvestor, it is one of England's largest private hospitals.[2]

History

The London Clinic was established by a group of Harley Street doctors; the building was designed by Charles Henry Biddulph-Pinchard[3] and officially opened by the Duchess of York in 1932.[4]

Queen Elizabeth II opened a new cancer centre, built at a cost of £80 million, at the London Clinic in April 2010.[5] After an inspection in December 2014 by the Food Standards Agency the organisation was given only two stars, the only hospital in London to perform so poorly,[6] but the poor standard of hygiene was addressed and, after a further inspection in June 2015, the Clinic was awarded five stars.[7]

In November 2015 it secured a £65 million revolving credit facility from HSBC which was used to increase theatre capacity, boost technology investment and renovate the radiology and intensive care facilities.[8] In November 2017 the Care Quality Commission described the design of the new intensive care unit and the annual multi-faith memorial service, which contributes to end of life services, as areas of "outstanding practice".[9] The clinic opened a specialist centre for robotic surgery in 2019.[10]
