New Richmond Royal Wellbeing Centre opens to Richmond CAMHS patients from Friday 1 May
New outpatient facilities are on the way in Richmond! This spring, Richmond Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) will move from their temporary base at Livingston House in Teddington into a brand new facility called the Richmond Royal Wellbeing Centre.
Based at the site of the former Richmond Royal Hospital, where Richmond CAMHS were previously located, services will return to what is now a new wellbeing centre this May.
In recent years the Trust’s facility here has undergone a long-term refurbishment programme in order to provide a bright and welcoming environment for younger patients and their families.
Opening our new facility
Our teams will be supporting young people, carers and their families through the transition, with appointments taking place at the Richmond Royal Wellbeing Centre from Friday 1 May 2026.
Previously the service had been based at Barnes Hospital before Livingston House opened in 2023. Following a separate redevelopment programme, Barnes Hospital is due to reopen in 2027 meaning that the new Wellbeing Centre and Barnes will both provide Trust services from this part of the borough moving forward.
Richmond Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service’s new address will be:
Richmond CAMHS
Richmond Royal Wellbeing Centre
South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust
Evelyn Road
Richmond
TW9 2TF
Supporting our patients
We recognise that change can sometime be unsettling, and we will be working closely with all involved facilitate a smooth transition, ensuring there is no interruption in local services.
Details of the changes are being shared with all patients, carers and families under the team’s care and the location for new appointments from Friday 1 May will be clearly communicated through patient letters as appropriate.

Better Environments for Richmond
This change is part of our Trust’s Better Communities and Better Environments Programmes as we work to transform our estate and create first class environments for our patients, carers and staff in South West London.
This £280m programme of investment is supporting the redevelopment of our sites across Wandsworth, Kingston and Richmond and the creation of a number of state-of-the-art facilities in line with local consultations.
