Nurse-led, CQC-registered specific-IgE blood testing at 5 Ave Maria Lane — moments from St Paul’s Cathedral in the heart of the Square Mile. Adults and young people aged 16 and over.
Allergy blood testing in the Square Mile
Our City of London clinic brings the same nurse-led, laboratory-grade allergy testing we have offered in South Kensington to the heart of the financial district. Located within St Paul’s Medical and Dental Clinic on Ave Maria Lane, we are a short walk from St Paul’s (Central line), City Thameslink, Blackfriars, Bank and Farringdon — ideal if you work in the City and want to fit a 15-minute blood draw around your day rather than travelling across London.
Whether you are investigating suspected food or environmental allergies, persistent hay fever, reactions to pets, dust-mite symptoms that flare in air-conditioned offices, or skin problems you suspect are allergy-linked, specific-IgE blood testing measures the actual antibody your immune system produces against individual allergen proteins. It is the same evidence-based laboratory methodology used by NHS and specialist allergy services — not an unvalidated IgG “intolerance” or hair-analysis kit.
Every appointment is a professional venous blood draw carried out under our established clinical governance framework: our lead nurse Luciana F. F. Cirillo is NMC-registered (PIN 25C1591E) and oversight is provided by Dr Mehdi Fard (GMC 6070368). Samples are routed to UKAS-accredited laboratory partners running platforms such as ImmunoCAP and the ALEX multiplex array. Learn more about our clinicians on the Meet Our Team page.

Why choose our City of London allergy clinic?
Built for City schedules. Most appointments take around 15 minutes from arrival to leaving. With St Paul’s station two minutes away and Bank, Blackfriars, Farringdon and City Thameslink all within easy walking distance, you can have your blood taken before work, in a lunch break or between meetings — no referral, no waiting list.
Regulated, accountable care. Allergy Clinic operates under CQC registration (provider: Medical and Dental Limited, 1-20629579981), which means our premises, infection control, record keeping and clinical governance are independently inspected against national standards. That accountability is a meaningful difference from unregulated postal testing kits marketed online.
The same tests, the same laboratories. Every test on our menu — from single-allergen IgE checks to the broadest ALEX multiplex screens — is available at both branches, analysed by the same UKAS-accredited laboratories, with the same transparent pricing and turnaround times published on each test page. If West London suits you better, our original South Kensington clinic at 20 Old Brampton Road (SW7 3DL) is open 7 days a week.
Information you can act on. Your written IgE report is released directly to you, listing each allergen tested and your measured antibody level. Our Common Allergens Guide and information-only blog help you understand what the numbers mean before you discuss them with your GP or an allergy specialist.
