Hi, thanks for that - unfortunately we're not going private so restricted to NHS hospitals. Even though they are good about letting you choose where to go it does seem quite hard to find ways to compare your options. Anyway, thanks for the input, we are going with Charing Cross. We've been advised to check that we'll get the necessary home-help and after care as mum won't be able to manage. Any other advice / input from people who've had or whose relatives have had knee surgery also welcome!

Hi, does anyone have any insights re: best hospital in London for knee replacement surgery? My dad is 77 and about to get a referral. He was asked if he has a preference on hospital - he'd like something close, (Charing cross, ealing, hammersmith hospitals are closest to him geographically) but he also wants to know which hospital might offer better quality surgery and after-care in the event of any problems etc. Also interested in any other thoughts / experiences / advice to share re: knee replacement surgery Many thanks

Totally with you rahrahrah on the area codes. Would add: bus drivers who have already slowed right down and then jerk really suddenly causing 'most everyone who's standing to fall into one another and into the railings etc. Would add: people who abbreviate almost to 'most
