About Bupa Basinghall Clinic
Bupa Basinghall Clinic at 63 Basinghall Street is one of Bupa’s flagship outpatient health centres in London — designed specifically for City workers and central London patients who need fast, discreet access to private healthcare without the complexity of booking into a full hospital.
The clinic operates as an outpatient facility only — this is an important distinction. There are no inpatient beds, no operating theatres and no overnight stays at Basinghall Street. What it offers instead is highly efficient outpatient care: same-day private GP appointments, rapid blood tests, health assessments and referrals into Bupa’s specialist consultant network.
For City workers, this makes Bupa Basinghall an extraordinarily convenient option. Bank tube station is a 3-minute walk, Moorgate is 5 minutes and St Paul’s is 7 minutes — meaning the clinic is accessible from virtually anywhere in London within 20-30 minutes. Being able to see a private GP at lunchtime and receive blood test results the same day is a genuinely valuable proposition for working professionals.
The clinic also serves as an access point into Bupa’s broader clinical network. A GP appointment at Basinghall can lead to a specialist referral, which in turn may lead to treatment at a Bupa hospital such as the Cromwell Hospital in Kensington — Bupa’s flagship London inpatient facility. This seamless pathway within the Bupa ecosystem is one of its key advantages for Bupa policyholders.
Both Bupa members and self-pay patients are welcome. For self-pay patients, the clinic offers fixed-price appointments for most services — making costs transparent and predictable.
