About North London Hospice

North London Hospice is a registered charity that has been caring for local people since 1984. We help those with a potentially life-limiting illness who have specialist needs.

We welcome people from all faiths and communities within the boroughs of Barnet, Enfield and Haringey. We are now also able to offer some of our services to people within Camden and Islington. We provide physical, emotional and spiritual care to patients and families, friends and carers.

Everyone is treated as an individual and our multi-professional team consists of specially trained doctors, nurses, physiotherapists, social workers, counsellors and chaplains. Everyone working at North London Hospice is committed to ensuring that patients receive our full support, enabling them to choose how they receive our care. Our goal is to help patients live life to the full despite their illness.

As well as our Inpatient Unit at Woodside Avenue (N12), where patients receive 24 hour care, we also work within the wider community to improve people’s quality of life. Our Living Well services, where patients visit and enjoy a wide variety of activities and therapies, to providing support in our patients’ homes, to our Community Palliative Care Teams.

As a registered charity, North London Hospice provides free Specialist Palliative Care Services. We receive some government funding, relying on donations and legacies to meet the cost of providing our exceptional care and support. In 2024/25 it cost over £16 million to run the hospice.
