Where exactly is the clinic?
99 Harley Street, London W1G 6AQ, at the corner where New Cavendish Street meets Harley Street, in the Harley Street medical district on Fitzrovia’s western edge. If you know Fitzrovia you already know the way: New Cavendish Street is the westward continuation of Maple Street, the road that passes the BT Tower, and it runs straight to our door.
The full walking, Tube and taxi routes, with honest minutes for each: are in the directions section above, next to the live route map.
How long does it take to walk from Fitzrovia?
From Charlotte Street, about 15 minutes; from the BT Tower corner, about 12; from Fitzroy Square, about 15. The whole of Fitzrovia is a flat 10–18 minute walk from the clinic. The map above shows the exact route Google recommends, straight along New Cavendish Street.
For most of Fitzrovia that makes us the nearest private ultrasound clinic with same-day appointments: Harley Street is the next neighbourhood over, not a trip across London.
Can I really fit a scan into a lunch break?
Usually, yes: the lunch-hour ultrasound is one of the most common bookings we take from Fitzrovia offices. Most scans take around 20 minutes, you are seen at your appointment time, and the sonographer or consultant explains the findings while you are still in the room.
Door to door from a Charlotte Street or Newman Street desk, out-and-back inside the hour is the normal experience rather than the lucky one, and none of the popular lunch-hour scans (thyroid, neck, shoulder, testes, lumps and bumps) need any preparation at all.
Do I need a GP referral?
No: you can book a private ultrasound directly, online or by phone, with no GP referral. For many Fitzrovia patients that is the whole point: a scan this week, on your own initiative, instead of a referral loop that takes longer than the scan itself.
Where a particular scan does need a clinical conversation first, we arrange it as part of the same booking. You are never sent away to fetch paperwork.
Can I be seen the same day?
Often, yes. We hold same-day and next-day ultrasound appointments across most scan types on weekdays, and because Fitzrovia is a 15-minute walk away, a morning phone call genuinely can become an early-afternoon scan with the results explained the same visit.
Call 0203 904 4441 for today’s availability. It changes through the morning as slots are released.
What are your opening hours?
Monday to Friday 8am to 8pm, and Saturday 8am to 6pm. For Fitzrovia working patterns that means a scan can sit before work, in a lunch hour, or after the office empties, not instead of your working day.
The 8am and evening slots are the quietest if you would rather not wait around, and Saturday suits anyone who cannot step away midweek.
Which Tube station is closest?
Great Portland Street: Circle, Hammersmith & City and Metropolitan lines, is a 7-minute walk from our door via Weymouth Street. Regent’s Park on the Bakerloo line is about 8 minutes, and Oxford Circus (Victoria, Central, Bakerloo) about 11.
From within Fitzrovia itself, honestly: walk. There is no direct line, and by the time you have changed at Oxford Circus, the straight walk along New Cavendish Street would already have you here.
Is there parking near the clinic?
The Q-Park Harley Street car park is a few minutes’ walk away, and there are pay-by-phone bays on Weymouth Street, New Cavendish Street and the surrounding mews. Do note the clinic sits inside the Congestion Charge zone.
From Fitzrovia, walking or a five-minute taxi beats driving every time, but if a family member is bringing you from further out, parking near Harley Street is genuinely workable in a way central London rarely is.
Do you have a clinic in Fitzrovia itself?
No, and honestly, we don’t need one. Harley Street Ultrasound Group has one clinic, at 99 Harley Street, a 10–18 minute walk from anywhere in Fitzrovia. One location is also why the experience is consistent: the same consultants, the same equipment, the same fixed prices, whichever neighbourhood you walk in from.
People type “ultrasound near me” at a Fitzrovia desk expecting a compromise nearby. The honest answer is that the Harley Street medical district, the highest concentration of specialist medicine in the country, is one straight road away.
I’m under UCH: can you still scan me?
Yes. Many patients under University College Hospital, Fitzrovia’s own teaching hospital: come to us between NHS appointments: for a scan sooner than the waiting list allows, for a follow-up their consultant wants quickly, or for an independent consultant second opinion on imaging UCH has already taken.
You receive a written consultant report the same day, and it is yours to share with your NHS team, private and NHS care work alongside each other here every week.
How quickly do I get my results?
The person scanning you explains what they see before you leave the room. That is the point of a consultant-led clinic. The written consultant report is then uploaded to your secure patient portal the same day.
If anything needs acting on, we say so in plain English and set out the next step: a referral letter, an ultrasound-guided procedure, or simple reassurance you can take back to your GP or UCH team.
How much does a scan cost?
Every scan has one fixed price, published on its page before you book, from £160 for an early pregnancy scan, with most diagnostic ultrasounds between £250 and £350. The price includes the scan, the specialist’s time and the written consultant report; there are no hidden extras and nothing is sold to you on the day.
Paying through private health insurance works too. We see patients from all major insurers; just bring your authorisation number when you book.
Can I walk in without an appointment?
We ask you to book first, even if that is a phone call from Fitzrovia ten minutes before you set off: it means a consultant and a room are ready for you rather than a wait. Same-day slots are released through the morning, so call 0203 904 4441, tell us what you need, and reception will usually find you a time that day.
Who performs the ultrasound?
A consultant radiologist, a doctor who specialises in imaging, or a senior specialist sonographer for pregnancy and gynaecological scans, never a trainee. The person holding the probe explains what they see as they scan, so you leave Fitzrovia-bound already knowing the findings, and the written report is theirs too.
Which scans can I book near Fitzrovia?
Every scan on this website is at 99 Harley Street, so from Fitzrovia you have one address for pregnancy scans, breast ultrasound and the breast clinic, pelvic and gynaecological scans, thyroid and neck scans, abdominal and kidney scans, joint and sports injury scans, ultrasound-guided injections, and children’s scans. Each has one page and one fixed price; use the search at the top of the page or call us.
How long is the wait for a private ultrasound compared with the NHS?
NHS waits for a routine ultrasound vary from a few weeks to several months depending on the hospital and the urgency your GP assigns. Here, same-day and next-day appointments are usually available, the findings are explained before you leave, and the report is on your portal the same day. From Fitzrovia that means a worry can be answered the day you decide to act on it.
