The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust has an exciting vision for the future of its Chelsea hospital, with plans to expand and improve its world-leading research, treatment and care.

As demand for cancer services increases, and one in two of us will be impacted by the disease, we must ensure we can be there for everyone who needs us within an environment that is fit for the future.

That is why we are currently exploring proposals to improve capacity and provide a modern patient environment by sensitively adding to the Chelsea site within the next decade – improving outcomes for everyone affected by cancer locally, nationally and globally. The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity will be fundraising to help make this a reality.

We committed to conducting extensive engagement on our plans, including webinars, public consultation events and a Development Forum hosted by the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, to ensure that everyone can provide their feedback. Since launching the consultation in November 2024, we’ve engaged with local residents, patients, staff, the wide public, resident associations and community representatives.

We also ran Patient Engagement workshops at the start of 2025 to explore plans in detail and support us to make sure the designs meet the needs of our patients.
