About

Professor Nick London is an expert knee surgeon with particular expertise in sports injuries and knee replacement surgery. He has extensive experience, developed over 17 years as a consultant, and has performed thousands of arthroscopic (key-hole) surgeries, ACL reconstructions and knee replacements. As a leading knee replacement surgeon, his personal experience of more than 5,000 operations includes more than 1,600 partial knee replacements, thousands of total knee replacements and many complex revision procedures.

Professor London offers a complete service to all orthopaedic knee conditions from those developing in children and adolescents, through sports injuries in athletes of all abilities (elite professionals to ‘weekend warriors’) and ultimately to knee replacement in patients with severe arthritis.

In addition to working with elite sportsmen (in rugby, football, cricket etc…) he has a particular interest in managing the young, active patient with arthritis and works with the orthopaedic industry to develop and evaluate the latest treatments and techniques.

Following training at Cambridge University, a Yorkshire surgical rotation and a Fellowship year in Australia, he was appointed Consultant in Orthopaedic and Trauma Surgery at Harrogate District Hospital in 2000 and maintains a busy and active NHS practice. In addition to clinical practice, he has extensive teaching, training, development and research commitments.

In 2018 he was appointed Visiting Professor to the Carnegie School of Sport at Leeds Beckett University.
