Hey Hal, nope, I am on medication which requires regular testing of my liver and kidney functions.

So far so good!

Wait time around 45 mins to an hour. I find the end of day better, between 3-4pm. Or you can try Kings at 7.30am, I have also gone to Kings at this time and was out within 20 minutes. Hope this helps.

When I was looking up the opening hours before going for my blood test, I noticed that Kings place restrictions on who can go to their department when, and if you turn up on the wrong day they say you will be sent away.


See here!


Here's an extract:


The Phlebotomy Department provides blood tests on a walk-in basis. We carry out a wide range of tests including testing for lipids, cholesterol, triglycerides, gut hormones, fasting blood sugar, malaria and drug monitoring. The department is based on two sites: King?s main site, where we see mainly patients who are referred by the hospital; and Dulwich Community Hospital, where we see patients referred by their GP.


Patients referred by King?s College Hospital

Please attend the Phlebotomy Department, King?s College Hospital, Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 4.45pm.


Patients referred by their GP

The Phlebotomy Department operates a satellite unit at Dulwich Community Hospital providing a blood test service primarily for GP patients. The unit operates Monday to Friday, 7.30am to 4.45pm.


GP patients may attend the Phlebotomy Department, King?s College Hospital for tests only on Tuesdays, 12.30 to 4.45pm, and Fridays, 7.30am to 12.30pm. GP patients attending King's Phlebotomy Department outside these hours will not be seen except for those with specialised tests (see below).

    • Eh? That wasn't "my quote"! If you look at your post above,it is clearly a quote by Rockets!
    • Exactly what I said, that Corbyn's group of univeristy politics far-left back benchers would have been a disaster during Covid if they had won the election. Here you go:  BBC News - Ex-union boss McCluskey took private jet flights arranged by building firm, report finds https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cp3kgg55410o The 2019 result was considered one of the worst in living memory for Labour, not only for big swing of seats away from them but because they lost a large number of the Red-wall seats- generational Labour seats. Why? Because as Alan Johnson put it so succinctly: "Corbyn couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag"! https://youtu.be/JikhuJjM1VM?si=oHhP6rTq4hqvYyBC
    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
