Can you be dropped off?
Yes, cars can drop and collect you from the hospital entrance in Pond Street but they cannot double park or wait there for more than 20 minutes.
The hospital has limited parking. Charges are £3 per hour, and the machine takes 10p, 20p, 50p, £1 and £2 coins. Pay and display parking areas are available locally but these are frequently full.

Hospital transport
Some people are entitled to hospital transport. If you need hospital transport on medical grounds this is usually organised by your GP. You are collected up to two hours before your appointment time, so please be ready in plenty of time. When you arrive at your clinic, tell the receptionist that you came by hospital transport so that we can arrange your return and future journeys. If you have any problems, call the hospital's transport office on 020 7472 6572.
For more details see the relevant patient information leaflet:
Can you claim expenses?
If you receive income support, income-based jobseeker's allowance, pension credit, working tax credit or child tax credit, you can claim back your public transport fares to and from the hospital. This does not cover taxi services. Ask the clinic to give you a fares claim form (which they should fill in for you). Take the form to the hospital’s cashier office on the ground floor. Please bring your benefit book or other current evidence that you are receiving the benefit, and your travel tickets.
