The 8-storey building will focus solely on elective procedures and will include six new operating theatres, 17 recovery rooms, a discharge lounge, and upgraded staff facilities.

Enabling works are underway at the Great Maze Pond site, with full construction due to start in June 2026. Completion is expected by the end of 2028, with the centre set to open in Spring 2029.

Designed by Ryder Architects, the purpose-built facility has been developed with input from staff and patients to improve flow, efficiency and overall experience.

The project is part of a wider plan to consolidate complex orthopaedic work across south east London into a single, modernised hub as demand continues to rise.
