Who are we?

London Travel Clinic was founded in 2010 by Dr Stephen Alex Bobak, with the very first clinic opening in Wandsworth town. Eight more travel vaccination clinics were subsequently established in popular London locations, such as Oxford Street and Victoria.

After a successful eight-year operation, London Travel Clinic was acquired in 2018 by Vaccination UK, part of the European LifeCare Group who have vaccinated over 5 million customers since 1998. With a fast-growing network of private vaccination clinics in the South and East of England, London Travel Clinic represents all of the Vaccination UK owned clinics in the London area.

Today, there are 21 well-equipped travel vaccination clinics in the London Travel Clinic group, which stock a comprehensive range of vaccines, including yellow fever, along with anti-malarials and travel health accessories. Each clinic is staffed by a highly-skilled and experienced team of professionals, who are passionate about travel healthcare, working across both clinical and administrative functions.

We make it our mission here at London Travel Clinic to fight disease and save lives, ensuring prevention and treatment are easy, accessible and safe for all.
