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).

    • If no one else has a problem, then it sugggests that the delivery person may not be aware of any harm and would respond well to a conversation. It also goes without saying that just because no one else has a problem, that the OP is not valid in raising their issues.
    • Remember, you never know what someone else is going through behind closed doors....
    • Is anyone else having difficulty booking Silver Swim sessions (Tuesday and Thursday between 3pm-4pm?) Almost all the spaces are taken before the online booking system opens at 10pm several days before. Last night there appeared to be one space available for next Tuesday. I tried to book at one second past 10pm but was unsuccessful. This seems to have been a recent phenomenon. I made a telephone call this morning but just received a recorded message saying that the voicemail box was full. Am I right in assuming that in person bookings are now taking precedence over online ones?
    • I completely agree with you, Angelina. But it's worth noting that no one else has a problem with her, or finds her rude /  has mentioned her aggressively banging gates / ringing doorbells etc.
