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).

    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
    • @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage  
    • If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?
