Transforming Young Lives: The Pears Maudsley Centre prepares to welcome its first specialist teams 

The King’s Maudsley Partnership will reach an important milestone in May when South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust’s Child and Adolescent Mental Health outpatient services and The Maudsley and Bethlem Hospital School will take up residence in the brand-new Pears Maudsley Centre. 

The ground breaking building is the new home for the King’s Maudsley Partnership and throughout 2026 teams from South London and Maudsley and King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience will be moving in.  

Designed with young people, the Pears Maudsley Centre is a vibrant and welcoming space that cleverly uses light, outdoor space, artwork and soft furnishings to help ease anxiety. There are also art rooms, spaces for cooking and horticulture therapy, external terraces with outdoor play and tailored learning spaces. 

The centre has been made possible thanks to a £10m donation from Maudsley Charity alongside the incredible generosity of major donors, foundations, and individual supporters. 

Research at the heart of mental health care 

The King’s Maudsley Partnership is driven by a singular vision: to transform our understanding of youth mental health and neurodevelopmental conditions and turn research into life-changing support faster than ever before. Now, that vision has a home. 

For the first time, world-class research and frontline care will coexist under one roof, ensuring that groundbreaking discoveries move directly from the lab to the young people who need them most.
