St Thomas' Hospital - London

Dirk S.

Having been here quite a few times and with both my children having been born here I know it quite well. Like the rest of the NHS the staff do the best they can amongst funding and resource pressures.

What's going for it though is the riverside location opposite the houses of parliament, there's also quite a big M&S food supermarket downstairs as well as a Costa Coffee

Review of St Thomas’ Hospital, Westminster

St Thomas’ Hospital is one of London’s most well-known and historic medical institutions, dating back to the 12th century. Originally established as a charity hospital, it was later relocated to its current site in Westminster in the 19th century, where it now stands proudly along the River Thames, opposite the Houses of Parliament. The hospital has been at the forefront of medical advancements, playing a key role in modern healthcare and medical training. It is also home to the Florence Nightingale Museum, celebrating the pioneering nurse who reformed hospital care.

Emergency & Specialist Care

St Thomas’ A&E department is a busy, well-equipped unit providing urgent and emergency care for central London. With access to a wide range of specialists, it offers comprehensive treatment, particularly for complex medical cases.

Evelina London Children’s Hospital

Attached to St Thomas’, Evelina London Children’s Hospital is a state-of-the-art paediatric centre offering world-class care for children. With its unique design and child-friendly environment, it provides specialist treatment, including critical care, surgery, and long-term condition management.

Intensive Care Excellence

St Thomas’ has a highly regarded intensive care unit (ICU), catering to some of the most critically ill patients. It boasts advanced facilities, including a dedicated high-dependency unit (HDU) and specialist support for major trauma, cardiac, and respiratory cases.

Overall Verdict

St Thomas’ combines a rich history with modern medical excellence, making it one of London’s top hospitals for emergency, paediatric, and intensive care.

Best hospital I’ve received treatment at.
After originally being misdiagnosed at another hospital resulting in me nearly loosing my finger, I finally got transferred here and I couldn’t thank this hospital enough!
Everyone made my traumatic experience slightly better by how caring, friendly and accommodating they were.
Special thank you to the plastic surgery surgeon who came to A&E and basically saved my finger and also the nurses on the plastic surgery ward who made me feel better.
The views from this hospital over London also really cheered me up when I was feeling very poorly.

I gave birth at St Thomas' Hospital 2 days ago and had an exceptional experience. The maternity staff were incredibly helpful, and the team of midwives and the anesthesiologist were amazing. Their professionalism and care made a significant difference during my stay. I am deeply grateful for their support and would highly recommend St Thomas' Hospital for maternity care especially Heidi Beaven who delivered our newborn and Kate who covered the earlier shift.

I am so very grateful that we switched from the Royal London!

My wife had surgery at St. Thomas' Hospital, and overall, the care was excellent. The staff and nurses were highly professional, compassionate, and attentive throughout her stay. However, a few individuals seemed less qualified, possibly not having met the standard hiring criteria. As for the food, well... let's just say it could use a bit of flavor enhancement – I ended up bringing meals from nearby restaurants every day to keep my wife happy!

I recently had an experience at the Early Pregnancy Unit at St. Thomas’ Hospital, and I cannot speak highly enough about the care I received. From the moment I walked in, every single employee was exceptionally kind, compassionate, and professional. The nurses, doctors, and reception staff all went above and beyond to make me feel supported and at ease during what can be a challenging time.

Their level of care, both medically and emotionally, was truly outstanding. They took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. I was treated with such respect and empathy, and it was clear that everyone in the unit genuinely cared about my well-being.

The team created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made a huge difference in my experience. I am so grateful for their dedication and would highly recommend the Early Pregnancy Unit at St. Thomas’ to anyone in need of care. The kindness and professionalism of the staff made all the difference, and I cannot thank them enough!
