Private GP for Southgate, N14

How to reach us from Southgate

By bus. The W6 is the direct link between the two centres. It begins at Southgate station, runs down past Broomfield Park along Aldermans Hill, and stops at Palmers Green station a short ride later. From there the clinic is a brief walk: Grovelands Road is a turning off Aldermans Hill, a couple of minutes from the station.

By Underground and train. Southgate is on the Piccadilly line in zone 4, between Arnos Grove and Oakwood. It has no National Rail station of its own: the nearest Great Northern trains towards Moorgate, Finsbury Park and Hertford North call at Palmers Green, which is the station by the clinic.

By car. From Southgate Circus, Bourne Hill (the A111) drops down to Green Lanes; turn towards Palmers Green and take Aldermans Hill beside the station. It is roughly a couple of miles in all, though Green Lanes can be slow at school-run times. Set the sat nav to N13 4RJ: Grovelands Road in N13 is not the same place as Grovelands Park, which is up on The Bourne between Southgate and Winchmore Hill, and the two are easy to mix up.

Parking and access. The streets around Aldermans Hill are residential and busy in the working day, so read the signs before you leave the car and allow a few extra minutes. If travelling or parking is the hard part, say so when you book: reception can suggest the easiest option, move you to a video appointment, or arrange a visit at home.

What Southgate patients book

• Same-day GP appointments · £90 — for the things that cannot wait a week: a chest or urine infection, a rash, a child who has been unwell overnight.
• Video consultations · £90 — useful if you commute into town on the Piccadilly line and cannot get back for a clinic time.
• Blood tests · from £45 — booked directly, with no referral, and every result read by a GP before you hear from us.
• Health checks · £495 — for anyone who has not had a proper look at their health in years.
• Home visits · from £180 — for older relatives, housebound patients and children who are better left where they are.

Every fee is listed in full on the pricing page and paid at the practice. You pay per visit, there is no membership, and you keep your NHS GP.

Home visits in Southgate and N14

Southgate and the rest of N14 sit inside our home-visit area, which matters when the journey itself is the problem: a frail parent, someone home after surgery, a toddler better left in bed. A visit is a full appointment at your address. The GMC-registered doctor takes a history, examines the patient, checks observations such as temperature, pulse and blood pressure, and explains the plan to you and, with your consent, to family or carers. Blood samples can be taken at home and private prescriptions go electronically to a pharmacy near you.

Visits follow the clinic’s Monday to Friday hours. The fee depends on distance — the starting fee is shown on the pricing page and reception confirms the exact figure before you book. Same-day visits depend on the doctors’ diaries, so book online for the times that are free or call the practice if the need is today.

Booking a private GP appointment from Southgate

Appointments are booked for a set time and length, and you choose the length when you book: 20, 30 or 45 minutes. A shorter appointment suits one clear problem; the longer ones give unhurried time for more than one concern or a long-term condition. Book online in about a minute, or call the practice and reception will help you pick the right one. You can ask for the same doctor when you book again.

Nothing is charged online. You pay at the clinic by card or cash, there is no membership and nothing to pay to register. If you are claiming on private medical insurance, check your policy first — you pay us directly and we give you an itemised invoice and any letter your claim needs.

What to bring:

• A list of any medicines you take, with doses
• Any recent letters, scan reports or test results
• Your insurance policy details, if you are claiming
• A parent or guardian, if the appointment is for a child

Afterwards the practice handles what comes next. A private prescription goes electronically to a pharmacy near you in Southgate, referral letters are written the same day, fit notes are emailed, and blood results come back to you once a GP has read them. With your consent, a short summary goes to your NHS GP so your record stays complete. You can cancel or move an appointment free of charge with 24 hours’ notice.

If you want the detail of the building, the station and the streets around it, the Palmers Green area guide covers it. The how it works page runs through a visit from booking to aftercare, and the FAQs answer the questions people ask before they book. For anything urgent or serious — chest pain, breathlessness, a suspected stroke, a child who is hard to wake — call 999 or NHS 111 rather than booking online.
