OneWelbeck Digestive Health is conveniently located in the heart of London. Depending on how you are travelling, you can get to us in one of the following ways:

Parking

If you are travelling by car, our post code is W1G 0AR and the nearest car parks are the Q-Park on Oxford Street and the Cavendish Square car park, which are both less than a 5 minute walk away, and the APCOA car park on Oxford Street (West), which is a 10 minute walk away.

Public Transport

If you are travelling by public transport, OneWelbeck is within walking distance of several underground stations including Bond street, Oxford Circus, and Baker street. You can also get to us easily by bus, and national rail.

Under our fixed procedure price packages, you will pay one set price. If there are any additional tests required these will be included in the package, with nothing additional to pay.

An endoscopy can be a bit uncomfortable, and mild sedation is offered to provide relief. You will also have the option to have the procedure without sedation as it can be painless when performed by a skilled team.

Our team consists of expert endoscopists who have performed over 100k endoscopies with excellent comfort, safety, and polyp detection rates.

Your doctor will discuss their findings with you after the procedure and you will be given a printed summary to take with you. If any tests have been performed or samples taken for analysis, you will be informed of how long it should take to receive the full result. In many cases, this may only take a few days.

A letter with the results of the procedure and any recommendations for future care or treatment will also be sent to you and your GP. In some cases, you may be given an appointment to come back to the centre to discuss your results.
