A cancer support centre with a roof garden will be built in the Royal Free Hospital’s southern car park.
Camden Council has approved plans for Maggie’s Centre to construct a two-storey timber facility designed by international architects Studio Libeskind.
The cancer support charity, which provides free advice, is hoping to open its new 435 sq m base by the summer of 2022.
The services of Maggie’s are currently housed locally at the Royal Free’s Cancerkin Centre following a merger in 2016.
A Royal Free spokesperson said: “We’re delighted that planning for approval for a Maggie’s centre at the Royal Free Hospital has now been granted.
