Located next to The Royal Marsden in Sutton, the facility will enable the hospital to handle some of the current pressing challenges in cancer research and treatment.

The building is expected to open by the end of next year. Contractors are working throughout the pandemic to keep the project on schedule.

Designed to treat patients in environments that will optimise their experience of visiting the hospital, the Oak Cancer Centre building will make the efficient use of space.

It will also provide a better layout for patients and staff which include a consolidated outpatient department, accessible on a single floor; a day care unit; the Goldman Sachs Gives Centre for Urgent Care; and the Charles Wolfson Rapid Diagnostic Centre.
