University Hospital Lewisham has marked LGBT history month by illuminating its riverside tower with the colours of the rainbow.
Shades including purple, yellow, green, blue and pink light up each of the tower’s stairways, and the kaleidoscopic display brightens the night sky.
LGBT history month runs throughout February in the UK and the annual celebration strives to offer a community-wide insight into the issues faced by the LGBT community.
