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.

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.
