Hampstead Travel Clinic is a local travel vaccination clinic serving Hampstead, Belsize Park, Primrose Hill, Swiss Cottage, Finchley Road, Gospel Oak, Camden and surrounding areas of North West London.

Based inside Allchin Pharmacy at 28 Englands Lane, London NW3 4UE, our clinic offers a straightforward and convenient way to prepare for travel. Our pharmacy team can review your destination, travel dates, planned activities, medical history and previous vaccination records before discussing the travel health protection that may be suitable for you.

Whether you are travelling for a family holiday, business trip, religious pilgrimage, backpacking adventure, gap year or an extended stay abroad, we aim to make arranging your travel healthcare as simple as possible.

We provide access to a broad range of private travel vaccinations and general immunisation services. The vaccines recommended for a trip can vary depending on the country, region, length of stay, accommodation, season, planned activities and your individual health circumstances.

Vaccinations available through Hampstead Travel Clinic include:

Vaccine suitability and availability are confirmed during your consultation. Some vaccinations require more than one dose, so it is helpful to contact the clinic as early as possible before departure.

Travelling soon and still need advice or vaccinations? Hampstead Travel Clinic offers same-day and last-minute appointments when availability allows.

Even when your departure date is approaching, it may still be worthwhile speaking with a travel health professional. Depending on your destination and circumstances, there may be vaccines, boosters, malaria prevention options or practical precautions that can still be considered.

Contact our team with your destination and departure date so that we can advise you about the next available appointment. Please do not assume it is too late without first discussing your journey with the clinic.

Malaria is present in parts of Africa, Asia, Central and South America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and the Pacific. The level of risk can differ significantly between countries and even between regions within the same country.

At Hampstead Travel Clinic, we can assess your itinerary and discuss malaria prevention measures, including the possible need for antimalarial medication. The most appropriate option can depend on where you are travelling, the length of your trip, your medical history, existing medicines and previous experiences with malaria tablets.

Medication should be used alongside mosquito bite prevention, such as suitable insect repellent, appropriate clothing and mosquito nets where relevant. A personalised consultation helps ensure the advice is based on your actual journey rather than your destination alone.

It is sensible to arrange a travel health consultation several weeks before departure whenever possible. This allows time to complete any multi-dose vaccination courses and gives your body time to develop an immune response.

However, the ideal timescale varies between travellers and destinations. Some people may only require a booster, while others may need a course involving several doses. Last-minute travellers should still contact us, as useful protection and advice may remain available.

Please bring any vaccination records you have available and details of your full itinerary. This can help our team avoid unnecessary repeat vaccinations and provide more accurate destination-based advice.

Your consultation is used to build a clearer picture of your journey and personal health requirements. A member of our pharmacy team may ask about:

• The countries and regions you are visiting
• Your departure date and length of stay
• Your accommodation and planned activities
• Previous travel vaccinations and boosters
• Current medicines, allergies and medical conditions
• Pregnancy, breastfeeding or other relevant health circumstances
• Previous reactions to vaccines or malaria medication

Following the assessment, the pharmacist can explain the vaccinations, medicines and travel precautions that may be appropriate. You will have the opportunity to ask questions before deciding how you would like to proceed.

Vaccination and malaria requirements vary widely across the world. A beach holiday, safari, city break, rural volunteering trip and multi-country backpacking journey can each carry different health considerations, even when taking place within the same continent.

Our travel clinic can provide destination-led advice for trips to Africa, Asia, South America, Central America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and other international destinations. Recommendations may be influenced by the specific region, season, altitude, local disease patterns, access to medical care and the activities you plan to undertake.

Rather than relying only on a general country list, book a personalised assessment based on your complete itinerary.

We understand that preparing for international travel can feel complicated, particularly when you are unsure which vaccinations you have already received or which precautions apply to your destination. Our aim is to make the process clear, convenient and personal.

After vaccination, we can provide a record showing the vaccine given, the date it was administered and the relevant batch details. Keep this record with your other travel health documents, as it may be useful for future booster appointments or when confirming your vaccination history.

Some journeys may require specific official documentation, such as proof of meningitis ACWY vaccination for Hajj or Umrah, or an International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis where current destination rules apply. Requirements vary and can change, so please tell our team where you are travelling and whether you need formal certification.

Bring any previous vaccine records to your appointment so we can review earlier doses and help avoid unnecessary repeat vaccination.
