When I was pregnant, my GP tried to persuade me to go to King's, but having been to visit a number of friends who'd given birth there and seen for myself the filthy wards and the surly and uncaring staff, nothing would have made me consider it. I flatly refused to to go King's and insisted on going to the Mayday in Croydon, and it was a really pleasant experience - or as pleasant as the horror of childbirth can be! I had exceptional treatment from all the staff, the hospital was very clean, I got a private room within a few hours, the staff were warm and friendly, and the food was really good. I would recommend Mayday without hesitation.
