About the Bowel Cancer Screening London
Looking for Bowel Cancer Screening London near me in London? Medical and Dental offers this screening at two Central London locations: South Kensington (20 Old Brompton Road, SW7 3DL) and the City of London (5 Ave Maria Lane, EC4M 7AQ). This screening includes 2 biomarkers with results available in 5 working days, priced at £219.
Bowel cancer (colorectal cancer) is the fourth most common cancer in the UK, with approximately 42,000 new cases each year according to Cancer Research UK. When identified at an early stage, treatment outcomes are significantly better — over 90% of people with stage 1 bowel cancer survive for 5 years or more. This screening includes markers that can help identify changes warranting further investigation.
The NHS Bowel Cancer Screening Programme invites adults aged 60–74 for regular screening, but private screening allows individuals to test at any age. Risk factors include age over 50, a family history of bowel cancer, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), or a diet high in processed meat and low in fibre. This blood-based screening provides a convenient complement to faecal testing and can be discussed alongside your results with a healthcare professional.
Medical and Dental operates from two Central London clinics. Our South Kensington clinic is open seven days a week with flexible hours. Our City of London clinic is open Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. To book your Bowel Cancer Risk Screening at either location, call 020 7183 2362 or book online.

Convenient home sample collection
Non-invasive screening methodology

Risk increases with age; regular screening is appropriate for asymptomatic individuals.
Family History
First-degree relatives with colorectal cancer may warrant earlier and more frequent screening.
Altered Bowel Habit
Persistent change in bowel frequency, stool consistency, or tenesmus.
Associated Symptoms
Abdominal discomfort, unintentional weight loss, or unexplained fatigue.
How to Prepare
Stay well hydrated
Drink plenty of water before your appointment. Good hydration makes it easier for the registered nurse to draw your blood sample.
Bring a list of current medications
Some medications can affect biomarker levels. Knowing what you take helps our team interpret your results accurately.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours beforehand
Intense physical activity can temporarily affect certain blood markers including liver enzymes, muscle markers, and hormone levels.
