Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Fulham Road, Kensington and Chelsea, London, 01/08/1991. A view from the south east showing Chelsea and Westminster Hospital during construction, with workers levelling concrete for the ground floor of the Mental Health Centre in the foreground. 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 Stephen’s 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.
