About the hospital
Founded in 1869, Evelina London is one of only two specialist children's hospitals in London.
The hospital is designed entirely around children and their families. Themed floors, natural light, a large open atrium and a dedicated play team all help to make visits as calm and positive as possible for children of all ages.
US Newsweek has ranked Evelina London as one of the world's best children's hospitals. The Princess of Wales is the hospital's Royal Patron.
About the hospital
Opened in 1983, The Portland Hospital is the only private hospital in the UK built just for women and children. It is part of HCA Healthcare UK and sits on Great Portland Street in central London.
The hospital is designed around children and their families. Bright playrooms, a sensory room, child-friendly rooms and a dedicated play team help to make each visit as calm as possible. A parent can stay overnight with their child.
Expert children's doctors are on site day and night. The hospital also has its own paediatric intensive care unit, neonatal intensive care unit and high dependency unit for children who need extra care.
What to expect
Whether your child is treated at Evelina London or The Portland Hospital, the care is built around children, from the wards to the teams who look after them.
Both hospitals have children's nurses and paediatric anaesthetists who are trained to care for young patients. Play specialists help your child feel calm before and after their procedure.
Both hospitals have a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and high dependency care within the building. If your child ever needs extra care, specialist help is close at hand.
Both hospitals bring together a wide range of children's specialists. If your child needs advice from another team, such as dermatology or ENT, those experts work in the same hospital.
Both hospitals have play areas and a sensory room to help children relax. One parent or carer can usually stay overnight with their child.
Both hospitals are registered with and inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC). The CQC is the independent body that checks health care in England is safe and of good quality.
Evelina London is on Westminster Bridge Road, SE1, a short walk from Waterloo and Westminster stations. The Portland Hospital is on Great Portland Street, W1W, close to Great Portland Street and Regent's Park stations.
Shorter stays
Many of Miss Torres-Grau's procedures take place in Evelina London's Children's Day Surgery Unit, opened by the Princess of Wales and purpose-built for shorter procedures that do not require an overnight stay.
The unit has two dedicated operating theatres and a comfortable family lounge. Admission, surgery, recovery and discharge all take place in the same unit on the same day.

For the majority of plastic surgery procedures, including ear correction, mole and lump removal, tongue tie, and scar treatment, children are admitted, treated and discharged on the same day. This means less disruption for your family and a faster return to normal life for your child.
Miss Torres-Grau will confirm at your consultation whether your child's procedure will be a day case or whether an overnight stay is needed.
Quality and safety
Every year the Care Quality Commission surveys families about their experience of children's inpatient care across England. In the 2024 survey, Evelina London ranked among the top trusts nationally across five areas that matter most to parents.
The Friends and Family Test consistently shows recommendation rates above 95% for paediatric services. In 2023, the neonatal unit was named the best training site in London by the London School of Paediatrics.
