Love_London Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 For those of you who gave birth at King's - did you do the birth registraion at Lambeth Registry office in Brixton?I found some information from King's college hospital website and that's what it said... Just checking if this is right...Thank you! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/67391-kings-college-hospital-birth-registration/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
reenie40 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yes, as Kings is technically in Lambeth registration is in the Brixton office.

Piaf Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I did it at the Camberwell registry office. I think if you look online it tells you that you can, you just need to ring up for an appointment (and I was told there was a shorter wait in Camberwell which was handy given my disorganisation!)

EDmummy Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Yes, that's correct but last time I did it (almost 10 years ago) I was as to do it at Southwark and they sent it to Brixton.

Otta Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 We did the same when we had our first at St Thomas', registered at Southwark and they send it all to Lambeth. If I remember rightly we then received the certificate in the post. Second time (Kings) we just went to Lambeth as it seemed more straight forward.

Love_London Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 Thanks all - I'll do it at Lambeth if it's the easiest option. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/67391-kings-college-hospital-birth-registration/#findComment-876788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sillywoman Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Both Kings and Tommies are in Lambeth so in theory all babies born in those hospitals should be registered there. In reality it means that Lambeth registry office is inundated and waiting times can be lengthy. Due to this Lambeth have done a deal with neighbouring boroughs so that if you live in Southwark or Lewisham (for example) you can register at your own (quieter) register office (plus Southwark RO is prettier ;) ).

Otta Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Lambeth is grander though. More oak panels ;-) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/67391-kings-college-hospital-birth-registration/#findComment-876838 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otta Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Don't get me wrong, I was married at Southwark, as were my olds (and my wife's olds as it goes). In fact I was registered there as a baby too (but I was born Dulwich Hospital so defo the correct borough / district in those days). Very fond of the place, but the office bit upstairs is all a bit cold. Lambeth is the town hall, so it's just a more impressive building.

Otta Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Not that any of this actually matters one jot to the OP.Sorry. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/67391-kings-college-hospital-birth-registration/#findComment-876878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulwich Born And Bred Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I missed the appointment to register my child at the Brixton office due to traffic and I was allowed to register my child at Peckham Registry office which I did .

alaska721 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I gave birth to my daughter in 2011 at King's and at the time I was living in the Lambeth part of Camberwell. We registered her birth at the Southwark Registry office in Camberwell and all was fine.

kristyl Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Brixton often has long wait times, so you can see the Lambeth registrar at Southwark. They are there twice a week I believe. My daughter was born in January at kings and I was told there was an 8 week wait for an appointment in Brixton. They did suggest Southwark and I had her birth certificate within two days.

rachel83 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 We registered the birth in Peckham - I believe you can use either Lambeth or Southwark Reg Office if you give birth at Kings. Certainly there was no issue when I called to get an appointment.

yummers Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 I gave birth at kings 18 months ago and was told that I had to register at Lambeth, in Brixton, as Kch is in Lambeth (other side of the road and it would be in Southwark!). No choice!Would much prefer to go to Southwark. Will do that this time for sure, based on my new knowledge!

j-mo Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I gave birth twice at Kings and registered both at Camberwell. No need to go anywhere else. Rang for an appointment. Think it took a while to get in though. At least a few weeks.
