Oddly enough I was down at Kings A&E yesterday and had to have a tetanus. I reckon I waited somewhere between 2 and 2 1/2 hrs to be seen.


You could try calling the drop in place down in Peckham (the Lister Health Centre, 101 Peckham Road) to see if they can do them there 0203 049 8430. Then there are those pay for treatment centres dotted around the place, can't remember what they're called Medi something, you could probably pay to have one done. There is (or was) one at Waterloo Station. If not, just bite the bullet and go to A&E.

Thanks for replying. Well, I phoned A&E to get a sense of their wait times and they advised me to go to the walk-in GP Centre in Peckham (the one linked to by taper). All fine, quite smart actually, and was seen very quickly by a nurse practitioner. She gave me a prescription to be collected from the Day Lewis pharmacy attached. But pharmacy was closed between 2 and 3pm! And I also had to pay for the prescription which grates ever so slightly because, presumably, if I'd been seen at A&E or at my GP Surgery I wouldn't have had to pay. I don't want to sound ungrateful, but I am a tiny bit annoyed about that. Just a tiny bit.
Ah yes, that is the Lister Centre I was referring to. Yes annoying to have had to pay, but it would have been a lot less expensive than a Medicentre had they been able to do the jab (thanks Damian H). Come to think of it though, although A&E was free for both the tetanus and two sets of antibiotics, GP's surgeries seem to charge for immunisations these days, at least mine does, I think..

    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.
