Plenty of parking, but its busy. Multi car park off Alma St. The Bexley Wing is modern with an open area for waiting with toilets, ships and cafe’s.

I very rarely do a review on anything, but I had an appointment today at the gynaecology outpatients at St James hospital, and I have to say the staff were all so professional and reassuring and made me feel at ease.
Everything was spotless too.

Delivered our first baby at St James’s Hospital, I couldn’t thank all the staff enough at the Maternity and Delivery Unit.
