Run by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust
Whether you’re having treatment or visiting someone, it’s important to find hotels that fit your needs. The Royal Free treats hundreds of new patients each day and many of them have travelled far to see specialists. The medical center is one of just a few that has a high-level isolation unit where infectious diseases like ebola can be safely treated. Its Accident & Emergency Department has recently been extensively renovated and it’s now one of the most user-friendly in the country.
This medical facility is situated on Pond Street in Hampstead Village area of the London Borough of Camden. It’s run by the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, which is a member of the UCL Partners’ academic health science centre.
