Royal London hospital please help

[SJ789]

Sorry posting here for traffic

We have to go to royal London hospital with our 8 month old, we will be going from Chelmsford, please can someone recommend the best way for us to get there? There is no car park for the hospital and the website says there is limited metered spaces near the hospital but we will be there overnight as she is having surgery so this isn’t an option. She absolutely hates travelling in any form so I’m really anxious about getting there. Please if anyone can recommend the simplest way with the least chopping and changes between trains/buses I would really appreciate it. We don’t know the area of London at all. My mum said could we get an ambulance transfer to take us but I don’t know how this would work/if they would do this for us? If anyone knows anything about that I would appreciate any advice. Thank you

Upminister (and most stations) are no longer easy to drop a car at. Lots of resident only permit bits to stop commuters

The OP posted this nearly a year ago. Waiting lists are bad but not that bad

Thank you, I hadn't spotted the dates on the posts, but was just trying to be helpful, that abusive post has now gone. Cheers for the support.

Not to worry @ConcernedSchoolStaff I saw this and instantly thought: "I'll help" but your message alerted me that there was no emergency.

If I scroll back I'll probably see I did reply.

It never hurts. I've been treated at Barts and then the Royal London and a combination of both since 1992, and always help people if I can.

I can get to both there easily by Tube but give people car parks and local hotel options recommended to me by the friends who live further away who've also been treated there. Plus cafes, restaurants and pubs (Hospital Tavern right next door) if you don't feel like eating in the (rather nice cafe) there and fancy a day off hospital food.

I last stayed there 11 years ago and the hospital food was very good, but sometimes you need an outing and I recommend Tayyabs. Other restaurants are available a shorter totter away https://www.tayyabs.co.uk/

It is a bloody fantastic place. I am so lucky to have it. I'm going for a check up at Barts at the end of this month of results from a routine MRI scan I had three weeks ago at the Royal London. As you know, it's very close.

I'm not expecting bad things but whatever they find, I am confident they will deal with it in the most excellent way.
