The Royal Brompton Hospital















The Royal Brompton Hospital is the top hospital for heart and lung problems, I am under the hospital due to my disablity and shallow breathing. The hospital is in an old victorian building that is very well built.




Don't worry about the steps in the photo, yes that is the main entrance but where the amblances park and where a few disabled bays are round the back of the hospital that enterance has a ramp and a set of anutomatic doors that open towards you.






I go to the brompton hospital every so often for a check up with Dr Simonds who is a wonderful person, and who is very professional at her job.






I also have a VPAP that I got from the brompton to help my carbon dioxide levels from getting to high. I had to go in and try it out at the Lind Clinic and I found it hard at first but Dr Simonds told me this moto: "Treat the machine like a friend" and from then on I have used it all night.

Map of where the Brompton Hospital is

Parking: the hospital is in a parking meter zone. There are very limited spaces available in front of Sydney Wing for disabled badge-holders and parents of paediatric patients only.

The nearest public car park is three minutes’ walk away on Sydney Street, near the King’s Road and is run by CP Plus Parking. On-street parking is allowed in metered bays in nearby side streets. Both options are expensive.

There are four parking spaces for disabled drivers in Cale Street, three in Foulis Terrace and five in Dudmaston Mews (behind Fulham wing). View our map including locations of disabled parking.



Hungry?














The Brompton Hospital has a cafe that I have yet to see but they take food seriously, so it should be very good



As well as the brompton having a cafe it also has it's own flower shop that is run by volunteers, members of 'The Friends of the Royal Brompton Hospital.









The Friends also have a shop where you can buy Chocolates , Teabags etc, and they run the Tea Bar as well.



Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Trust is the largest specialist heart and lung centre in the UK and among the largest in Europe. We work from two sites, Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea, West London and Harefield Hospital near Uxbridge.





The Access is very good via the accessible entrance, the hospital is clean and there are lifts that take you to the floor you want.



I have got one of the SIT STOP seats fitted by the lifts so you are able to sit on it while you wait for the very slow lifts.



if you want to find out more please visit the SIT STOP page.
