Our ambition
We want the St Pancras Hospital site to be an environment for everyone – a place that is open and accessible for all. Places have the power to maintain good mental health and help us to heal and we want to achieve this across everything we deliver as part of this masterplan.
We aim to redevelop the St Pancras Hospital site to allow the C&I Trust to provide exceptional clinical care in modern, accessible and sustainable mental health facilities, both on site and in Camden and Islington.
Alongside health care, we want to redevelop the St Pancras Hospital site to create new homes, offices and public spaces.
Wellbeing is at the heart of all our designs. We want to create a new environment that positively contributes to people’s mental and physical health, creating a place that is warm and welcoming for everyone who lives, works or visits the area.
We’ve been working alongside the local community and key stakeholders to ensure that our proposals align with our ambition as well as the needs of our neighbours in Camden and Islington. You can find out more about our consultation so far as well as our detailed designs for the masterplan here.
Our ambition is to:
Deliver 110 high-quality new homes, including affordable homes
Create six new landscaped areas for people to relax, meet and play, including a public square, community gardens and play space.
Deliver new office space, including affordable, to support a range of businesses including start ups
Retain, repurpose and transform former Victorian workhouse buildings
Open up the site with new and improved walking and cycling routes
St Pancras Transformation Programme
The St Pancras Hospital Transformation Programme is an ambitious NHS plan aimed at improving mental health and community services for local people.
As part of the programme, cutting-edge mental health facilities have already been opened during 2024 at Highgate East and Lowther Road, paid for by the NHS, with most of the funding coming from the sale and redevelopment of the St Pancras Hospital site.
The redevelopment of the St Pancras Hospital site also includes Oriel a brand-new integrated eye centre, a joint initiative between Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, the UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Charity. Moorfields Eye Hospital NHS Foundation Trust acquired a two-acre site from C&I for Oriel through an NHS-to-NHS transaction approved by the Secretary of State for Health in 2023.
Three NHS organisations (North London Mental Health Partnership, the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust) currently provide mental health, kidney dialysis, rehabilitation and other community services from the St Pancras Hospital site. These organisations are working together with North Central London Integrated Care Board to develop plans for the future of these services, some of which will remain on the site as part of the redevelopment. This redevelopment is being undertaken in partnership with King’s Cross Central Limited Partnership.
Our ambition is to promote the physical and mental wellbeing of those living, working and visiting the area, through open space, workspace, and homes alongside new modern clinical buildings. Our vision is to provide exceptional clinical care in modern, accessible and sustainable facilities and to deliver a place which is accessible and welcoming to all. Plans for the redevelopment of St Pancras Hospital will be submitted to Camden Council for approval.
