We’ve been caring for children and young people for over 150 years at Evelina London Children’s Hospital. With internationally renowned consultants, specialist staff, innovative technology and modern facilities, we provide an unrivalled depth of experience.
As one of only two specialist children’s hospitals in London, our vision is to be a world leading centre of life-changing care. We’re proud that US Newsweek, the American weekly news magazine, has recognised our hospital as one of the world’s best for children’s services.
We were also the first specialist children’s hospital to be rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, which regulates health and social care services in England.

Experts in children’s heart and lung care
