About US
These plans are being brought forward by the landowner, Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation, and its development partner, Stanhope, with the support of Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, King’s Health Partners and King’s College London.
The Royal Street project is a key part of the Foundation’s property portfolio. This portfolio helps to generate income that goes into the charitable spending that the Foundation puts into improving health each year.
At Royal Street, the Foundation is working with Stanhope to embed health and wellbeing within the designs and uses, ensuring that the buildings, services, green spaces and the community being created by the new development, have a direct and positive impact on health.
The Foundation will continue to be the freeholder of the site, maintaining a long-term interest in the future of Royal Street.
Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation
Guy’s & St Thomas’ Foundation is an independent charitable foundation that invests in a healthier society, backing people and ideas to drive more equitable health. For over 500 years, the Foundation has been a constant in London’s ever-changing landscape, at the leading edge of health. Its commitment and work are backed by its endowment – a mix of investments, land and properties – which allows the organisation to take a long-term view while addressing the real and urgent health issues of today.
The Foundation invests, partners, engages and influences to come at big health challenges from all angles. Through its family of forward-looking organisations, it collaborates with communities, partners and hospitals, and uses its assets to transform lives. Across everything the organisation does, it looks to increase its impact by sharing and connecting with others working on better health – from its part of the city to cities around the world.
The Royal Street project is a key part of the Foundation’s endowment, and the organisation will continue to be the freeholder of the site, with a long-term interest in its future.
White City Place:
Located in West London, this project created a new centre for the creative and technology sectors, hosting over 3000 staff from the BBC, and research and teaching facilities for the Royal College of Art, the digital fashion house YOOX Net a Porter, creative co-working Huckletree, ITV Studios and biotech companies Synthace, Autolus, Novartis and Gamma Delta.
Tate Modern:
Located on the South Bank, the Tate Modern is one of London’s most renowned cultural institutions. Opening in 2000, in a discontinued power station, it continues to attract millions of visitors each year, helping bring contemporary art to a wider audience. Stanhope has been involved throughout the evolution of the site, from helping to secure the Tate’s home in the 1990s, to assisting with the recent works to expand the gallery in 2016.
Television Centre:
The home of the BBC for over 50 years, the site of many of the nation’s TV memories and a historic Grade II listed building which required a sensitive approach to redevelopment. The project has injected a new lease of life into the area with a creative mix of uses that look to the future whilst also protecting the building’s original function as a home for British broadcasting.
The Treasury:
The 22,943 sqm redevelopment of HM Treasury building by St James’s Park involved the creation of a new open place office environment, as well as the sensitive restoration of Winston Churchill’s underground wartime Cabinet Rooms, trebling the current museum’s size and opening up parts of the nerve centre of military planning, during World War II, to the public for the first time.
