St. Dominic's Hospital is described in the Ark Angel novel as "...one of London's most exclusive private hospitals. Rock stars and television celebrities came here... There were also VIP's from abroad." It is also known for its high-class food and care, delineated as "five-star" and "world-class." Some celeberties are known to pretend to be sick just so they could stay at St. Dominic's because the food was so good.
