Talk about a room with a view. The fifth floor of Cleveland Clinic London Hospital has a waiting area that looks out on the panoramic splendor of the city. Buckingham Palace is just across the street. Farther in the distance are Big Ben, St. Paul’s Cathedral and the cantilevered observation wheel known as the London Eye, among other landmarks. Is it any wonder that patients and visitors as well as caregivers can’t help but pause here to soak up the scenery?
