Two GP surgeries in Redbridge are set to be refurbished.
The Department of Health and Social Care has allocated £3.3 million to modernise and expand several GP surgeries in north-east London.
The funding will be used to refurbish and reconfigure existing spaces, creating new consultation and treatment rooms.
This will allow patients to be seen faster and in more comfortable environments.
The two Redbridge surgeries set to benefit from the funding are Kenwood Medical Centre and Loxford Polyclinic.
Kenwood Medical Centre, in Gants Hill, will see its ground and first floors refurbished to accommodate the relocation of up to two additional GP practices.

This will create 38,500 additional appointments each year.
Loxford Polyclinic, in Ilford, will be refurbished to create eight new clinical rooms, resulting in 22,000 extra appointments each year.
The improvements are expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
Sarah See, managing director of primary care at NHS North East London, said: "We are thrilled to receive the funding that will improve GP health facilities across north-east London and are looking forward to working with the practices to implement these plans.
"Once completed, patients will be able to notice the benefits, with more face-to-face appointments that will additionally take pressure off other local healthcare providers."
The funding is part of a wider effort to improve the efficiency and modernity of GP surgeries across north-east London.
