About The Princess Grace Hospital
The Princess Grace Hospital on Nottingham Place is part of the HCA Healthcare UK network — one of central London’s established private hospitals offering a focused range of clinical services in a Marylebone setting.
Located close to Harley Street, Regent’s Park and Baker Street, The Princess Grace is particularly well positioned for patients seeking treatment in the heart of London’s medical quarter. The hospital has particular strengths in orthopaedics, women’s health — including the London Breast Institute — and diagnostic services.
The London Breast Institute, based at The Princess Grace Hospital, is one of the most respected private breast health centres in the UK. It offers screening, diagnostics, biopsy and treatment planning for breast conditions including cancer — drawing consultant expertise from across the HCA network.
As part of HCA Healthcare UK, The Princess Grace benefits from group-wide clinical governance and access to the broader HCA London network — including The Wellington, London Bridge Hospital, The Lister and The Portland — for specialist services not available on site.
All major UK health insurers recognise The Princess Grace Hospital, though HCA hospitals in London typically carry a weighting surcharge on some plan types. Always confirm your specific cover before booking.
