Westminster
Jubilee, Circle, District
northbound on the Jubilee line to Baker Street, three stops, then about eight minutes on foot down Marylebone Road and into Harley Street.
Three Jubilee line stops, step-free the whole way. Examination and imaging in the same appointment.
Tell us what you need and we will come back to you the same working day.
At 146 Harley Street, W1G 7LD, a little over two miles north of Westminster. The Jubilee line runs from Westminster to Baker Street without a change, leaving an eight minute walk. Consultation, imaging and, where needed, biopsy and the results discussion fit into one appointment of sixty to ninety minutes.
Westminster is one of the easiest parts of London to reach us from, and the reason is the Jubilee line: Green Park, Bond Street, Baker Street, all northbound, with lifts at every station on the route. Our consulting rooms are at 146 Harley Street, W1G 7LD, and a same-day one-stop breast clinic appointment takes sixty to ninety minutes from arrival to the results discussion.
Most Westminster enquiries come from people working nearby rather than living there, which shapes the appointment more than the distance does. Early and late slots exist for that reason, and a single attendance covering examination, imaging and the discussion afterwards is designed to survive a working week that does not bend. If somewhere closer to home suits you better, all our London locations are listed together.
One useful detail for Westminster patients: stay on the Jubilee line past Bond Street to Baker Street and the walk at the far end drops from about twelve minutes to about eight. If you are coming by car, the directions and parking for 146 Harley Street set out the nearest car parks and where a taxi can pull in.
| From | Lines / mode | Route and typical time |
|---|---|---|
| Westminster | Jubilee, Circle, District | Northbound on the Jubilee line to Baker Street, three stops, then about eight minutes on foot down Marylebone Road and into Harley Street. |
| St James’s Park | Circle, District | The Circle line runs through to Great Portland Street without a change, leaving a five-minute walk. Slower on the train, shorter on foot. |
| Victoria | Victoria, Circle, District, National Rail | Two stops on the Victoria line to Oxford Circus, then ten to twelve minutes north. Note that Oxford Circus has no step-free access. |
| Buses and taxis | — | Those routes stop within a few minutes of the clinic on the Marylebone Road and Great Portland Street corridors. A taxi up Whitehall and Regent Street is normally about twenty minutes outside the rush hours. |
The pattern we see from Westminster is people whose diaries are not their own. Parliamentary sitting hours, departmental timetables and the working rhythm of Victoria Street do not accommodate three separate hospital visits for one question. A one-stop assessment answers it in a single attendance: examination, imaging and, where it is needed, a biopsy on the same morning, with the findings discussed before you leave rather than posted on later.
The second reason is that the case stays with one surgeon. The person who examines you plans what follows, carries out any operation and sees you at follow-up. If you are paying for the appointment yourself no referral letter is needed. If a policy is covering it, contact the insurer first: a GP referral and a pre-authorisation number are almost always required. Surgery and inpatient care take place at one of the private hospitals we work with nearby, and there are directions and parking for The Harley Street Clinic if that is where your admission is arranged.
Your care is led by Mr Debashis Ghosh, Consultant Breast & Oncoplastic Surgeon. He has held consultant posts since 2012 and was Clinical Director of Breast Services for the North Central London Cancer Alliance, an NHS England role covering the breast services of several north London trusts. He is certified by the European Board in both Breast Surgery and Surgical Oncology and teaches at UCL Medical School.
An 08:00 slot suits most SW1 patients. Leave Westminster station at about twenty past seven, three stops north on the Jubilee line to Baker Street, and eight minutes on foot. The whole route has lifts, which matters if you are coming back after a procedure rather than before one. Registration takes a few minutes and the consultation starts on time.
Examination comes first, then imaging in the same building, then a decision. Where a biopsy is indicated it is taken during the same attendance under local anaesthetic; you can normally return to work afterwards, though the site may ache for a day or two. Findings from examination and imaging are given to you before you leave. Histology is reported separately by the laboratory, and the discussion for it is booked at a time that fits the parliamentary or departmental week rather than the hospital’s.
The Jubilee line. Westminster, Green Park and Bond Street all have lifts from street to platform, so you can travel from Westminster to Bond Street without stairs, then walk twelve minutes on the level. Oxford Circus has no lifts, so avoid routes that make you change there. If you have had a procedure and would rather not walk at all, tell us when you book and we can arrange a taxi drop-off at the door.
Clinic hours are Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 20:00, so an appointment at either end of the day is usually possible. It is a practical point for Westminster patients: an 08:00 one-stop assessment finishes by about half past nine, which is inside the time most people would otherwise spend on a single hospital outpatient visit. Where a biopsy is taken, the histology result follows separately once the laboratory has reported, and we arrange a discussion for it.
Yes. A review of that kind looks at the imaging and pathology you already have, at what the proposed operation would achieve, and at whether lymph node testing by sentinel node biopsy would answer the question with less surgery. Bring your scan images, biopsy report and any letters. Reconsidering a plan made elsewhere is a recognised part of the work: there is more on how a breast cancer second opinion is handled.
