Personalised travel vaccinations, malaria advice and last-minute appointments from experienced pharmacists—just a short journey from Swiss Cottage.
Your travel clinic near Swiss Cottage
For residents, commuters and families around Swiss Cottage and Finchley Road, convenient travel health support is available nearby at Hampstead Travel Clinic. We are based inside Allchin Pharmacy on Englands Lane, within easy reach of Swiss Cottage without the need to travel into central London.
Our pharmacists look beyond the country name. We consider the regions you will visit, trip length, accommodation, activities, medical history and previous vaccination record before discussing appropriate protection. Whether you are travelling for work, visiting friends and relatives, arranging a gap-year route or preparing for a family holiday, you will receive advice shaped around your plans.
Six to eight weeks before departure is an ideal time to contact us, particularly when a course needs more than one dose. If your flight is sooner, please still ask: selected vaccinations, malaria advice and same-day appointments may remain available.

Vaccines commonly discussed
Your needs depend on the countries you visit, season, accommodation and activities. During your consultation we will check reliable destination guidance and your vaccine history before making recommendations. Common discussions include hepatitis A and B, typhoid, tetanus, polio, rabies and Japanese encephalitis.
A traveller staying in a city hotel may need different advice from someone working in rural areas, trekking, handling animals or making an extended multi-country journey. Requirements can also change when you cross borders or travel during a particular season. We therefore recommend bringing your complete route, even for short stopovers. The consultation is an opportunity to discuss food and water hygiene, insect-bite avoidance and other practical precautions alongside vaccination.
What to bring
Bring any vaccination records you have, plus a list of the countries and regions you will visit. Dates, accommodation type and planned activities are useful too.
Tell the pharmacist about regular medicines, allergies, pregnancy, immune conditions or previous vaccine reactions so your consultation can be handled safely.
