Air Ambulance charity to switch London offices

[Edited April 2023] The London Air Ambulance service, which operates on a charitable basis across the British capital, is to switch offices in London and set up in the heart of the city’s financial district.

The move has apparently been made possible by a financial donation from Land Securities, one of the largest property owners and developers in the UK.

The building to which the Air Ambulance service intends to relocate is on Philpot Lane in the City of London, close to where Land Securities is co-developing the so-called Walkie-Talkie office tower at 20 Fenchurch Street.

A total of 4,000 sq ft of City of London office space has now been earmarked for the London Air Ambulance Service on Philpot Lane with the space covering four floors at the relevant building.

It is hoped that the new headquarters will help the charity expand its fund-raising efforts as it aims to acquire a new helicopter and afford an increase in flying hours.

Graham Hodgkin, chief executive of the London Air Ambulance Service, explained that while his organisation’s clinical and aviation teams will not be based at its new offices, their opening is a big step forward for the charity. He said the offices will enable the ambulance service to benefit from closer proximity to its stakeholders in the City of London.

“We are passionate about London at Land Securities and are thus delighted to support the vital work of London’s Air Ambulance by providing a new home for them in the City,” said Land Securities’ head of property in London Scott Parsons.

“We are committed to supporting the communities which surround our properties and we believe enabling the expansion of London’s Air Ambulance will be of great benefit to all Londoners,” he said.

Editor’s Note: Following this story that was published in July 2013, the London Air Ambulance acquired space at 7 – 8 Philpot Lane, London EC3M 8AA.

In April 2023, the charity is based at 77 Mansell St, London E1 8AN in Aldgate having moved in November 2015 from Philpot Lane. They made the move as the new location is closer to its helipad facilities at The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, where its clinical and aviation teams are based.
