Press Roundup - Royal London Hospital play space
In 2013, Barts Health NHS Trust launched an innovative initiative at the Royal London Hospital to improve patient experience through the arts. Vital Arts, the Trust's arts organisation, transformed the hospital's rooftop into a dynamic and colorful play space designed by award-winning architecture firm Cottrell and Vermeulen. The design was inspired by east London streetscapes, providing young patients a unique outdoor environment to enjoy, even in the heart of the city. The aim was to enhance the emotional wellbeing of children during their hospital stay, by encouraging play and interaction with the outdoor space.
