Fleet Street Clinic Laboratory in Central London

We have been providing “Point-of-Care” Testing (POCT) for our patients since 2016. Since then, instead of having to wait days for culture results, our patients have been able to receive results for many of the tests we offer – and treatment – in about an hour, or at the same appointment.

We expanded our resources dramatically during the Covid pandemic, culminating in achieving ISO 15189:2012 UKAS Accreditation for SARS-CoV-2 testing and sampling. During the pandemic, we supported numerous complex projects in the UK and internationally, including film production and VIP groups. We are delighted to have a production credit on the most recent Mission Impossible movie! We now have multiple testing platforms and are expanding our range.

Our patients can benefit from over 60 different tests that can be performed at a single visit.

Our laboratory is staffed by Biomedical Scientists and Medical Laboratory Assistants, with oversight from independent consultants, and upholds high standards of quality.

Our Tests

Our in-house test portfolio covers a range of infections and conditions where early or rapid diagnosis makes an important difference to treatment. Here are some examples:

Sexual Health & STI

We offer full PCR molecular STI testing to detect common pathogens that cause sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as human papillomavirus (HPV), herpes simplex virus I and II (HSV 1 & 2), chlamydia, gonorrhoea, syphilis, chancroid, mycoplasma, ureaplasma, and trichomonas, all from a simple urine sample, swab or cervical smear. Results are released within 2-5 hours of sample submission.

Whether you are concerned about possible exposure, have symptoms or just want peace of mind, we can help quickly and confidentially.

Gastrointestinal Infections

Travellers’ Diarrhoea? Gastroenteritis?

Our stool PCR panel test helps detect and differentiate 24 possible bacterial, parasitic and/ or viral target pathogens that commonly cause gut infection and diarrhoea, all from a tiny stool swab sample.

We also offer a number of other rapid tests suitable for returned travellers, including malaria and dengue antigen detection.

Our respiratory PCR panel test helps pinpoint the cause of respiratory infection, from a “panel” of 23 viral and bacterial causes, including colds, flu, RSV, SARS-CoV-2, and other treatable respiratory infections, all from a nose or throat swab sample.

Our tests release results in about an hour, enabling confident efficient, rapid, and targeted treatment.

A separate “Strep A” PCR molecular test is also available for Strep throat infection.

I love this place; it's my go-to for vaccinations. Now they offer private COVID boosters even better—also much better availability than the high street chemist named after footwear. Everyone is so friendly and professional.

Had a great experience booking and getting a last minute rapid rabies jab with Fleet Street Clinic! They even booked me in out of hours for my jab because it was the only way to do it before my travels! Thank you to everyone who assisted me.

Had a great experience at Fleet Street Clinic. I went in for my occupational health clearance and everything was smooth from start to finish. The staff were friendly and professional and the whole process was really straightforward. A special thank you to Chiara from the nursing team who handled my tests. She was not only kind and reassuring but also incredibly professional and easy to talk to. She made what could have been a stressful visit feel completely relaxed.

I was feeling ill while visiting from the States and am so glad I found this clinic. They slotted me in right away and provided everything I needed in-house without having to go to a pharmacy. I’m sure that’s not the case for all medications, but it’s great they can offer that service and that I lucked out and could get back to exploring. If you’re a fellow visitor reading this and are looking for a place to go, I would definitely recommend! Very reasonably affordable, stress-free, and friendly.

On repeated occasions over the last year, I have received A1 treatment from the Fleet Street Clinic. Short-notice appointments, face to face and on the phone, for emergency conditions and quick prescriptions from excellent doctors have helped me enormously. The Reception Team are also highly professional. I couldn't recommend it more strongly.

Fleet Street were excellent. Saw me at short notice and provided a good diagnosis of my condition. Their prescriptions were on the money because my infected ear began to clear up soon afterwards.
