New London hospital!
After about 30 years in the planning and ten in the building, the new hospital in Euston road which replaces the University College and the Middlesex hospitals is open, though not complete. The old Middlesex hospital has been closed for about six months and looks sad. All the windows were quickly boarded up with thick sheets of plywood as the security guards took over pending its conversion into what will be very expensive superbly located residential units.
But not today!
As I cycled past the car park was fuller than it ever was - though with film unit trucks and not Consultants’ BMWs and Bentleys.
The signs proclaimed it to be the Trafalgar Hospital - all in standard NHS layout and colours. At a passing glance it looked as if the old Middlesex was reopening.
The giveaway though was the sign that proclaimed the very modest clamping release fee for unauthorised parkers. £35!
Look out for the Trafalgar Hospital at a cinema near you - or perhaps in a TV soap.

That’s interesting. I wonder what it will be used in.
Watch out for Super Nanny filmed in Utah coming up soon!
