St George’s showcases its main entrance during Open House London Weekend
St George’s Hospital, Tooting, is participating in the Open House London Weekend on 17th and 18th September by showcasing the Grosvenor Wing main entrance.
St George’s Open House day will run from 10:00hrs -16:00hrs and architect Sylwia Nyga from Gibberd Architects, artist Rebecca Salter and landscape designers Charles Funke will be present to talk about their work. Visitors can enjoy a 30 minute guided tour at 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 13:30, 14:30 and 15:30.
Sharon Welby, assistant director capital projects, said: “We are delighted with the invitation to showcase our main entrance; a project we are extremely proud of. The redesign of the main entrance interior and gardens creates a surprising and highly visible new approach to the hospital. It is a light, welcoming space that retains the reassurance of arriving at one of the country’s principal teaching hospitals and we look forward to explaining the design process to visitors.”
