## TL;DR

A large National Health Service teaching hospital in Tooting, south west London, and the cancer centre for that part of the city. It does most of the area's complex cancer surgery, gives chemotherapy, treats children with cancer, and sends patients to the Royal Marsden for radiotherapy.

## Summary

St George's Hospital in Tooting is the main site of St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which shares its campus with St George's, University of London and, with Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust, forms a hospital group with a single executive team while the two trusts stay separate. The trust describes the hospital as the cancer centre for south west London: it provides most of the area's complex cancer surgery, is the south west London hub for brain and central nervous system, breast, children's, gynaecological, haematological, head and neck, lung and urological cancers, and is a national centre for skin and penile cancers. Its regional oncology service gives chemotherapy and biological treatments, about 16,000 cycles a year; radiotherapy for its patients is provided by the Royal Marsden. It hosts the regional breast, bowel and cervical screening services and the South London Cancer Research Network, and the trust says it is a designated children's cancer centre for London.

Newsweek and Statista ranked it 133rd in World's Best Specialized Hospitals 2026: Oncology.
