CHELSEA AND WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL, FULHAM ROAD, KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA, GREATER LONDON. The art installation Falling Leaves by Sian Tucker hanging in the atrium at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.
Laing Management Contracting worked on the construction of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on behalf of the North West Thames Regional Health Authority between 1989 and 1993. The new teaching hospital was built on the site of the old St Stephens Hospital, which was demolished in the early months of 1989. The use of fast track construction techniques enabled the entire project to be completed in less than 5 years, and the hospital was officially opened by the Queen on 13 May 1993.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing art installation, Falling Leaves by Sian Tucker, hanging in the atrium of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. The delicate leaves suspended from the ceiling create a serene and tranquil atmosphere within the bustling hospital environment. The construction of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital was a remarkable feat achieved by Laing Management Contracting on behalf of the North West Thames Regional Health Authority between 1989 and 1993. Built on the site where St Stephens Hospital once stood, this new teaching hospital emerged as a symbol of progress and innovation in healthcare. The use of fast track construction techniques allowed for an impressive completion time of less than 5 years, showcasing the dedication and efficiency involved in creating such a state-of-the-art facility. On May 13th, 1993, Queen Elizabeth II herself inaugurated this magnificent institution. Falling Leaves serves as more than just an art installation; it represents hope, renewal, and growth amidst challenging times. Its presence in the hospital's atrium provides solace to patients, visitors, and staff alike. This photograph from Historic England Archive not only immortalizes Sian Tucker's artistic creation but also pays homage to the incredible efforts put forth by those who built this iconic landmark in Kensington and Chelsea. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity merging with nature's beauty within these hallowed walls.
