About the Bowel Cancer Screening South Kensington
Our Bowel Cancer Risk Screening is available at South Kensington Medical and Dental, 20 Old Brompton Road, South Kensington, London SW7 3DL. Our South Kensington clinic is a short walk from South Kensington Underground station, with flexible opening hours including weekends. 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.
Our South Kensington clinic offers flexible opening hours: Monday and Wednesday 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Tuesday and Thursday 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM, Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM, and Saturday and Sunday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. We are a short walk from South Kensington Underground station (Piccadilly, District, and Circle lines). To book your Bowel Cancer Risk Screening, call 020 7183 2362 or book online.
