Bromley by Bow Health Centre opened

Categories: Medicine

The Bromley by Bow Centre grew out of a church group. In 1997 they opened the Healthy Living Centre which includes an NHS surgery, a cafe (very reasonably priced with great home-made cake on the day we visited), etc. The picture source website gives a history.
