Finding the right building:

The hospital is based in four buildings, three of which (the Sydney, Chelsea and Britten wings) are based on the same site, accessible via the main reception on Sydney Street. 

 

Fulham wing (for outpatients) is on a nearby site, two minutes’ walk from the main buildings, accessible from the Fulham Road.  View a map of our wings.  Read details for specific wards.

Tube: we are a five-to-ten-minute walk from South Kensington station, which is on the Circle, District and Piccadilly lines. Transport for London's tube map or the journey planner below, might both help in planning your journey. 

For the main buildings: once you have exited the tube station’s main barriers, mount the stairs and take the left hand exit, cross the pedestrian crossings in front of you and walk down Onslow Place to the Fulham Road.  Cross the road and ten yards along to the right is the left-hand turn into Sydney Street.  The hospital is on the right-hand side of the street.

 

For Fulham wing: follow the above instructions but once you reach the Fulham Road continue walking down it for 250 yards.  The Fulham wing is on the left side, just after the Royal Marsden hospital.

Hospital transport

This is only available on strict medical grounds.  If you are a patient and are medically unable to travel safely by public transport and friends or family are unable to bring you, your own doctor will make the appropriate arrangements.
