More good news for : the project has been shortlisted for the 2026 Awards, in the Heritage and Conservation category!

This latest recognition follows its win in the Heritage category at the London Awards and selection for the RICS UK Awards Grand Final.

Completed in October 2025, the project has conserved the Grade I-listed Great Hall and Hogarth Stair while opening these remarkable spaces to the public for the first time in 300 years.

We’re proud to see the project recognised not only for the care and craft behind its conservation, but for creating new opportunities for learning, wellbeing and community engagement at the heart of Britain’s oldest working hospital.

Congratulations to and everyone who contributed to this extraordinary project.
