SC1 London Spotlight: London's Growing Health and Life Sciences Innovation District

Hosted by SC1 London

A morning spotlight on SC1, the health and life sciences innovation district in South Central London anchored by King's College London with three NHS foundation trusts, the Guy's & St Thomas' Foundation and the boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark. Held at OXO2 on the South Bank, it presents the district's growth story - including the large lab and research developments underway around London Bridge - and where industry and investors can engage. Most relevant to executives scouting London locations or academic–NHS partnerships. Register by emailing the SC1 London team at King's College London.

Sources & verification
  • Source: lifesciencesweek.london/events/all/ - Directory description/host/location review: 2026 calendar confirms SC1 London Spotlight and OXO2. The SC1 news archive supplies background on the south London district, not a confirmed 2026 agenda; the copy makes that distinction. Existing schedule, price and admission fields are unchanged; this is not a full event re-verification.
  • Source: lifesciencesweek.london/events/all/ - Official calendar lists Thu 19 Nov, 8:30 am – 12:00 pm, "OXO2 @ The OXO Tower, SE1 9PH", registration by email to SC1London@kcl.ac.uk. New since the 23 Aug research seed.
