Visit St Thomas' Hospital

Parking is very limited at the hospital and there's often a queue. Our car park is open 24 hours a day and costs £3.50 per hour, even if you parked for less time.

If you are a Blue Badge holder and have an appointment on the day, you can use the disabled parking spaces in the car park. You'll need to visit our Knowledge and Information Centre on the ground floor in North Wing to claim free parking.

Remember, St Thomas' Hospital is located in the Congestion Charging zone and the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).

If you intend to drive, please read about parking at St Thomas' Hospital.

The phone for calling taxis is on the lower ground floor of Lambeth Wing.

It's mounted on the wall outside of the patient transport department.

There's cycle parking facilities covered by CCTV. Bicycle racks are located:

• between the river and the main entrance (140 spaces)
• between the main entrance and Lambeth Wing entrance (40 spaces)
• alongside Gassiot House on the ground floor (20 spaces)

If you need help, ask our receptionists, volunteers or any member of staff wearing a yellow name badge.

1. When you get to the hospital, look up the wing you need to go to using the directory in the main entrance. Wings are colour-coded
2. When you get to the wing, find the lifts or stairs you need using the directory outside the wing entrance. Lifts and stairs are labelled with a letter (A, B, C, D...)
3. At the lift or stairs, check the floor you need to go to using the directory in the lift or stair lobby. Floors are numbered (1, 2, 3...)
4. On the correct floor, look out for signs on the wall and follow them to your appointment.

If you’re sent to another wing for tests or treatment, it's best to go back to the ground floor to find your way there.
