Our story

Ten years on Royal Street

In 2016, Guy's & St Thomas' turned an empty nursery opposite the hospital into a workspace for people building better health. The idea was simple: hospitals are hard to get into, so put the people with ideas just across the road from the people who'd use them. Ten years on, we're still solving health challenges, together.
