Housed in East London’s ExCel conference centre, the hospital was built to accommodate up to 4,000 hospital beds for COVID-19 patients. The hospital, named after Florence Nightingale, the founder of modern nursing, was constructed in just nine days with the help of 200 soldiers from the Royal Anglican Regiment and Royal Gurkha Rifles and NHS staff and contractors.
