New helipad for Air Ambulance
The biggest crane in the UK has been assembled at St George's Hospital in Tooting where it is helping to build a helipad which will be used by London's Air Ambulance.
Work begins on hospital helipad
The largest crane in Europe has been put up in South London, as work begins on a new helipad for a hospital in Tooting.
St George's will become the second hospital in the capital to have an emergency landing pad.
It will give victims of major trauma - like road accidents, falls and stabbings - faster access to potentially life-saving treatment.
