Travelling to London for Laser Eye Surgery from Other Parts of the UK
Laser Eye Surgery clinics have been popping up on high streets all over the country in recent years, making Laser Eye Surgery accessible to more and more people. And yet, London remains the centre of the Laser Eye Surgery world – and for good reason. But is it worth travelling to London from other parts of the UK for treatment?
Travelling to London from Scotland, or even parts of northern England, used to be a nightmare. It was a long and expensive journey that many would simply choose not to take. But in recent decades, the process has become a lot easier, with trains from Edinburgh to London taking as little as four hours, and the journey from Leeds being possible in around half that. And then there is the option of domestic flights that take a fraction of the time!
Improvements in public transport have made it possible to enjoy the sights of London with less hassle and more convenience. But aside from moseying around museums or taking a time-out by the Thames, this also makes it easier to access some of the best Laser Eye Surgery clinics in the world.
The world is shrinking, and for those of us who live in areas serviced by good transport links, world-class services are ever closer to our doorsteps.
So it might be easy and cost-effective to nip to London for a night or two for Laser Eye Surgery, but is it really worth your time and effort? Well, let’s take a look at the top three reasons to travel to London for Laser Eye Surgery:
Access to the latest advancements in technology
Harley Street, London, has been known as a centre of medical excellence for centuries. Whether you’re looking for world-class orthodontists, plastic surgeons, or Laser Eye Surgeons, this is the area to be. Many companies even outside of the medical world choose to base themselves in London for one simple reason: It’s a global centre of technology and innovation. And Laser Eye Surgery is no exception.
Being surrounded by some of the best clinics in the world means a constant drive to champion the latest developments in the field. With access to the most cutting-edge Laser Eye Surgery technology, London Vision Clinic is proud to offer the best possible treatment options with greater safety and more thorough screening processes for ever-greater outcomes.
An efficient and extensive inner-city transport network
Being served by five airports, including two of the world’s busiest, London may be a centre for international travel, but it also has an extensive and efficient inner-city transport network that makes getting around this vast city easy and convenient.
The city has several major railway hubs, as well as 112 overground stations, 270 tube stations, and over 18,000 bus stops! All this makes accessing Harley Street a walk in the park: If you are arriving by rail, the closest tube stations are Regent’s Park on the Bakerloo line, Great Portland Street on the Metropolitan, Circle and Hammersmith & City lines and Warren Street on the Victoria line. We are also just a couple of stops from Kings Cross Rail Station and approximately 45 minutes from Heathrow Airport!
The highest global standards of medical excellence
Possibly the biggest reason patients continue to make the journey to London for medical treatment is the high standard of care and hospitality on offer. This is a tribute to London’s long history as a leading medical hub. Today, the world-renowned Harley Street area continues to lead the way in many sectors of the medical field – particularly Laser Eye Surgery. As such, Harley Street clinics consistently attract the brightest talent, from the UK’s prestigious Universities and around the world.
