London Bridge Hospital

What London Bridge Hospital does

London Bridge Hospital is a private acute hospital in central London (founded 1986) operated by HCA International Limited as part of the HCA UK network. It provides comprehensive private healthcare across cardiac care, cancer care, neurosciences, orthopaedics, digestive health, urology, haematology, renal services, head/neck/thyroid, and women's health, supported by diagnostic imaging (CT, MRI, ultrasound, mammography, DEXA, endoscopy) and advanced treatment platforms including a JAG-accredited endoscopy centre, an 18-chair chemotherapy unit at Private Care at Guy's, a four-bed dialysis centre, and a robotics theatre. The hospital holds a market-leading position in the UK's largest private autologous haematopoietic stem cell transplant (AHSCT) programme for multiple sclerosis and the largest head and neck patient volume in the country; it was also the first and only independent UK healthcare provider to introduce Medtronic's Affera Mapping and Ablation System and has launched CaRi-heart technology for preventive cardiac risk assessment.

The hospital operates a multi-site London footprint including the main campus at 27 Tooley Street, an urgent care centre at 29 Tooley Street, the Private Care at Guy's cancer inpatient facility, and outpatient clinics in The Shard, Canary Wharf, and two City of London sites. Revenue is generated predominantly from private healthcare services (consultations, diagnostics, surgery, inpatient care) and GP services, paid for through private health insurance or self-pay arrangements, with a dedicated concierge channel for international patients. Customers are individual patients and consultants (acting as referrers) rather than enterprise accounts; the GTM motion combines consultant finder search, GP referral pathways, self-referral via phone and online booking, insurance authorisation, and direct outreach through HCA UK's marketing channels (website, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, patient stories).

The company is a for-profit, private limited company subsidiary of HCA International Limited (registered in England and Wales, company number 03020522), with 501-1,000 employees and a CQC Outstanding regulatory rating. It is a non-listed facility-level entity with no public ticker, no disclosed revenue, no subsidiaries, and no independent funding history, operating as one of approximately ten hospitals within the HCA UK portfolio.
