Why choose Imperial College Healthcare Private Care?

We have an international reputation for private maternity care at both The Lindo Wing of St Mary’s Hospital and the Clayton Ward at Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital.

We offer a personalised service and maternity care packages that can be tailored to make sure the birth of your child is as special as possible.

The Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital

The Lindo Wing has overseen private births for generations of families since 1937.

At the Lindo Wing, we offer consultant-led care in partnership with a dedicated team of experienced midwives and support staff to provide continuity of care throughout your pregnancy.

As part of the 2023 Care Quality Commission national inspection programme, we have retained an outstanding rating for our maternity services. We have reassuring support from our emergency care and adult neonatal intensive care units on site if needed.

The Lindo Wing includes a supervised nursery, dedicated birthing suites and facilities to support complex births, giving you peace of mind and helping you enjoy your journey in safe, comfortable and private surroundings.

Discretion is key to our service; we ensure that you have the space, security and privacy you need to enjoy these precious early moments as a family.

The Clayton Ward at Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital

Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea Hospital is a world-renowned maternity, women’s and neonatal care hospital. It has a nationally celebrated centre for fetal care and a long history of clinical excellence.

The Clayton Ward is our private antenatal and postnatal ward within the hospital. The hospital is well equipped to deal with all pregnancies, from multiple to complex births.

With two fully equipped operating theatres next to the labour ward and high-dependency care facilities, we have everything on hand should babies need any additional support.

The Lindo Wing and the Clayton Ward are both part of Imperial College Healthcare Private Care, which provides access to exceptional clinical care and expertise, within some of London’s most respected NHS teaching hospitals.

Supporting you every step

Providing care from your very first midwife appointment to your baby's arrival, we are with you every step of the way.
