The Royal Marsden is a world-leading cancer centre specialising in cancer diagnosis, treatment, research and education. It has two hospitals: one in Chelsea, London, and another in Sutton, Surrey. It provides inpatient, day care and outpatient services for all cancers, and pioneers and innovates in cancer nursing, treatment and drug development. Also in Surrey, there is also a Medical Day Care Unit based in Kingston. The Royal Marsden is partnered with The Institute of Cancer Research. Together the organisations undertake ground-breaking research into new cancer drug therapies and treatments. The partnership makes it the biggest and most comprehensive cancer centre in Europe, with a combined staff of 3,500.
The Royal Marsden was the world’s first specialist cancer hospital, founded in 1851 by Dr William Marsden. His vision was to create a pioneering cancer hospital dedicated to excellence in the study, treatment and care of people with cancer. Today the trust continues to build on this legacy, constantly raising standards to improve the lives of the 40,000 cancer patients from across the UK and abroad that they treat each year.
Please keep this cache hidden well. This is a high traffic area, especially at times when staff are starting or ending shifts so extreme stealth is required. The hint should take you straight there and so minimise the need for suspicious behaviour!
You are looking for a micro containing a log book only, please bring a pen with you.
Parking is restricted around the hospital site, please do not use the staff or patient car parks. It is sometimes possible to stop briefly opposite the cache site, otherwise, parking is possible on the nearby Chiltern Road (no stopping between 10 & 11am and 2 & 3 pm).
