2025: "Northwick Park Hospital (NWPH) is a major[1] National Health Service hospital with A & E situated in the town of Harrow, North West London, managed by the London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust. It is located off Watford Road in the London Borough of Brent;[2][3][4] closely bordering the London Borough of Harrow.

The hospital was commissioned by the North West Metropolitan Regional Hospital Board in the late 1960s, designed by the British architect John Weeks and built by Trollope & Colls.[5] The design of the hospital was largely inspired by British obsolescence studies, in which a loose-jointed medical complex was created with flexibility to withstand obsolescence's unpredictable effects.[6] With only a fixed internal street system, the architects referred to the hospital as "an indeterminate architecture" with "no final plan" – free to grow and change over time.[7] It was opened by the Queen on 10 October 1970.[8] It takes its name from Northwick Park, which lies besides the hospital.[9]

In 1994, St Mark's Hospital, previously located 10 miles away in central London, moved into a wing of the hospital formerly occupied by the Medical RThe hospital provides a full range of services including paediatricsmaxillofacialorthopaedicsneurologycardiology, elderly care medicine and a regional rehabilitation unit for patients with additional ongoing acute medical needs.[15] St Mark's Hospital, a national centre of gastrointestinal medicine, is based at the same site,[10] as is the British Olympic Association's Olympic Medical Institute.[16]

Local charity Radio Harrow is based within the hospital and has provided a patient visiting and broadcasting service since 1971.[17] "
