This is what it’s really like inside a hospice - and it might surprise you | ITV News

‘Heaven’,‘ holiday’ and ‘bit of a party’ are not the words or phrases that immediately spring to mind when you think of a hospice - but they've all been used by staff and patients to describe St Joseph’s in east London.

From the outside, this Hackney institution could be mistaken for any old building but on the inside it is as bright and diverse as the multi-cultural community it serves.

The hospice strives to keep life as normal as possible for patients, with services including an in-house hairdresser, acupuncturist and even a drinks trolley.
