CHELSEA AND WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL, FULHAM ROAD, KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA, GREATER LONDON. Two children posed with two Metropolitan police officers and a police car, whilst wearing police caps and holding balloons, during an open day 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. The hospital was officially opened by the Queen on 13 May 1993

EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing a moment of joy and community spirit, this print titled 'Balloons' takes us back to the 1990s at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in Greater London. Two children, beaming with excitement, stand proudly alongside two Metropolitan police officers and a police car. Donning miniature police caps and clutching colorful balloons, they embody innocence and childhood wonder. This heartwarming scene unfolded during an open day at the hospital, where families gathered to explore its facilities and engage with local law enforcement. The event aimed to foster trust between the community and the police force while providing a fun-filled experience for all attendees. Behind this joyful snapshot lies the dedicated work of Laing Management Contracting. Between 1989 and 1993, they tirelessly constructed Chelsea and Westminster Hospital on behalf of the North West Thames Regional Health Authority. Utilizing fast track construction techniques, this state-of-the-art teaching hospital was completed in record time - less than five years. Replacing the old St Stephens Hospital that once stood on this site before being demolished in early 1989, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital became a beacon of modern healthcare. Its official opening by Queen Elizabeth II on May 13th, 1993 marked a milestone in medical history. This image serves as a reminder of cherished memories from our past - when laughter filled hospital corridors, balloons brought smiles to young faces, and unity prevailed within communities.
