Integrated Health Projects (IHP), a joint venture between Vinci Building UK and Sir Robert McAlpine, has been contracted to build two new vascular theatres at the front of the Royal Free Hospital.
The Royal Free Hospital submitted the planning application in October last year and IHP has now started enabling works for the build, which will run from February to July 2025.

In line with the Royal Free London’s clinical vision for cardiovascular services and as the designated vascular surgical hub for north central London, the theatre expansion will enable the hospital to treat more patients, reduce the time people have to wait for surgery, and improve outcomes for those with cardiovascular disease.
Tackling cardiovascular disease is one of the Royal Free London’s three group clinical priorities as it is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity in the UK and within north London.
"The proposed expansion of our surgical vascular hub will be hugely beneficial for patients,” Consultant vascular and endovascular surgeon and clinical lead for vascular surgery, Jason Constantinou, said in the previous press release.
