Why patients choose our Wimpole Street clinic
Our main clinic, open seven days
Wimpole Street is our largest clinic and home to our reception team, with 13 practitioners and appointments seven days a week. We moved here 15 years ago from 126 Harley Street, a few minutes’ walk away.
Embryo transfer acupuncture
This is the only one of our clinics where we offer acupuncture on embryo transfer day, including out-of-hours sessions for patients we’re already seeing during that cycle. It’s a short journey from many of London’s IVF clinics.
Specialists under one roof
Alongside fertility and women’s health, our Wimpole Street team includes practitioners with particular experience in skin conditions, musculoskeletal pain, and support during and after cancer treatment.
Herbal medicine on site
Several of our Wimpole Street practitioners are qualified Chinese herbalists, so herbs can be prescribed alongside your acupuncture when they’ll help.
Inside the Wimpole Street clinic
Our treatment rooms are on the third floor of 57a Wimpole Street, a red-brick mansion block on a corner of the street, with a lift up from the entrance hall.

Questions about our Wimpole Street clinic
How do I get in when I arrive?
Press the buzzer at the front door of 57a Wimpole Street and our reception team will let you in. The clinic is on the third floor, and there’s a lift.
Is there parking near the Wimpole Street clinic?
There’s no parking at the clinic itself, but there are paid on-street parking bays on Wimpole Street and the surrounding streets. The clinic is inside the central London Congestion Charge zone, so most patients come by tube or bus.
Is the Wimpole Street clinic wheelchair accessible?
Not fully. There are steps up to the front door, although there’s a lift up to the clinic on the third floor. If you use a wheelchair or find steps difficult, our Chiswick clinic has step-free access throughout, and we’ll book you in there.
Do you offer acupuncture on embryo transfer day?
Yes. Wimpole Street is the only one of our clinics where we offer it. We treat before and after transfer for patients we’ve been seeing during the current cycle, including out of hours whenever we reasonably can (out-of-hours sessions are £105). We can’t see patients for transfer-day treatment alone.
Can I switch between Wimpole Street and your other clinics?
Yes. Your notes are shared across all three of our clinics, so you can book at Wimpole Street, Chiswick or Windsor, whichever suits your week.
