EDITORS COMMENTS
In this nostalgic photograph taken at the Metropolitan Police Medical Centre in Hendon, north west London during the 1970s, five patients are seen enjoying a hot meal in the centre's cafeteria. The scene exudes a sense of warmth and camaraderie as the patients, dressed in various attire, gather around tables adorned with white tablecloths and plastic chairs. Three patients wear dressing gowns and pyjamas, while two are dressed in daytime clothing. A catering lady, dressed in an apron and a headscarf, serves food from a trolley, adding to the homely atmosphere. The Metropolitan Police Medical Centre in Hendon was a vital institution that provided medical care and support to police officers and their families. This photograph captures a moment of respite and relaxation for the patients, who, despite their diverse conditions, are united by their shared experience of illness and recovery. The presence of police officers in the background adds an historical context to the image, reminding us of the important role that the centre played in the welfare of the police force during this era. The patients appear to be in high spirits, chatting and laughing as they enjoy their meals. One patient even has a plaster on his nose, a testament to the various injuries and ailments that the centre treated. The catering lady, with a friendly smile, expertly serves food and drink from the trolley, ensuring that each patient is well taken care of. This photograph is a poignant reminder of the importance of health care and the role that community and companionship play in the healing process. The image transports us back to a simpler time, evoking memories of the 1970s and the history of the Metropolitan Police Medical Centre in Hendon.
