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. The hospital was officially opened by the Queen on 13 May 1993

1990s Atmospheric Hospital Lights Night Signage
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting night lights illuminating Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on Fulham Road in Kensington and Chelsea, Greater London. The image showcases the festive Christmas lights adorning the site hoardings of the hospital, creating a magical atmosphere that fills the night sky. The photograph was taken on a special day - the switching on ceremony for the hospitals' combined heat and power system. It symbolizes not only a celebration of technological advancements but also highlights the dedication of Laing Management Contracting, who worked tirelessly between 1989 and 1993 to construct this remarkable teaching hospital. Built on the grounds where St Stephens Hospital once stood before its demolition in early 1989, this new state-of-the-art facility stands as a testament to fast track construction techniques. In less than five years, an entire hospital was erected, showcasing innovation and efficiency. The significance of this momentous occasion is further emphasized by Queen Elizabeth II herself officially opening Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on May 13th, 1993. This print serves as a reminder of both historical importance and architectural achievement. With its nostalgic charm from the 1990s captured under nighttime illumination, this image evokes feelings of warmth and joy during what should be celebrated as a milestone in healthcare development.
