Do you know of any exceptional 'Welcoming spaces' in hospitals or libraries in London, Rotterdam, Lund and Vancouver?

Hi there, my name is Julie Canals, and I am based at the Women's Welcome Centre at the Royal Women's Hospital in Melbourne, Australia. Our centre provides a warm and welcoming space for our patients, their families and carers and others. They can come in and relax, find some high-quality, evidence-based health information or browse through and borrow from our specialist library collection. 

My manager has been fortunate enough to receive a scholarship to visit other 'welcoming spaces' in England, Sweden, the Netherlands and Canada. She plans to travel to London, Rotterdam, Lund and Vancouver in March 2023. 

Can you recommend any similar 'Welcoming spaces' in or around these cities? If so, I'd love to hear from you. We are keen to learn from others and see what is being done internationally. Please contact me if you have any suggestions.
