Every appointment includes clinical interpretation, not just a result. Your findings are explained in the room where the test allows it, and your written report is formatted so your GP, NHS cardiology team or private consultant can act on it directly. Where a finding needs onward care, the referral letter comes with it at no extra charge.

Chest pain right now is a 999 call, not a booking. Severe or ongoing chest pain, especially with breathlessness, sweating, collapse, or pain spreading to the arm or jaw, needs emergency assessment immediately. The same applies to stroke symptoms such as face drooping, arm weakness or slurred speech. This clinic is for planned assessment once urgent causes have been excluded.

Why patients book here

Why Patients Book Our Private Cardiology Clinic

London has plenty of places that will run a heart scan. Patients choose us for the care: a same-day appointment two minutes from the tube, a GMC-registered cardiologist who performs and interprets the test, and a clear plan before you leave.

A cardiologist, not a technician

Your echocardiogram is performed and interpreted by a GMC-registered cardiologist in the same appointment. That matters, because the cheapest scans advertised in London are often run by a physiologist with the report following days later, and sometimes only to your GP rather than to you.

The whole pathway in one place

Consultation, ECG, echocardiography, Holter monitoring, carotid Doppler and cardiovascular bloods all run from the same clinic, so a test that gets recommended can usually be done the same week rather than starting a new referral.

Answers on the day

Your cardiologist talks you through what they have seen before you get up, including the numbers that matter such as ejection fraction and valve function. The written report follows within 24 hours, with a referral letter included if anything needs onward investigation.

Same-day, seven days a week

Both clinics run 9am to 7pm, Monday to Sunday, with same-day and next-day appointments regularly available. Palpitations and breathlessness do not respect the working week, and neither do our slots.

Two minutes from the tube

27 Welbeck Street sits in the Harley Street Medical District, two minutes from Bond Street on the Elizabeth, Central and Jubilee lines. Our St Albans clinic is a short walk from St Albans City station, which is usually quicker than travelling into town.

Registered clinicians, regulated clinics

Cardiology is delivered by GMC-registered consultants inside CQC-registered clinics, with vascular and cardiac ultrasound performed to national safety guidance. We have run consultant-led diagnostic clinics in the Harley Street Medical District since 2012, with a 4.8 Google rating from over 1,200 verified reviews.

From booking to report

How Your Private Cardiology Appointment Works

A single test takes 10 to 30 minutes. A consultation with an echocardiogram and ECG runs to about an hour, and the full heart and stroke risk screening around 60 minutes. Preparation is minimal, and you leave knowing the headline finding.

1

Book directly, no referral

Choose your appointment online, or call 020 7101 3377 or WhatsApp us if you would rather talk it through first. Mention your main symptom, any previous ECG or echo reports you can bring, and your current medication.

2

Arrival and clinical history

You are checked in and taken through. Your cardiologist goes through your symptoms, their pattern and duration, family history, risk factors and any earlier cardiac reports, then performs a cardiovascular examination including blood pressure and heart sounds.

3

Your tests, in the same visit

An ECG takes 5 to 10 minutes with small electrodes on the chest, wrists and ankles. An echocardiogram takes 20 to 30 minutes lying on your left side with gel and a probe. A Holter monitor is fitted and worn home. Nothing enters the body and there is no radiation.

4

Findings explained in the room

Your cardiologist talks through what was seen and measured, what it means and what it does not mean, and sets out the plan: reassurance and discharge, a further test, a medication review, or onward referral.

5

Written report within 24 hours

Your report is issued within 24 hours, formatted so your GP, NHS cardiology team or private consultant can act on it directly. Holter recordings take three to five working days after the device comes back, because the full trace has to be analysed and reviewed.

This is the clinic to book for the full heart and stroke risk screening pathways, which combine cardiac and vascular imaging in one visit.

Questions

Private Cardiology Clinic in London: Frequently Asked Questions

Written and reviewed by our clinical team, answering what patients ask before booking a private cardiologist, an echocardiogram, an ECG or rhythm monitoring, including the questions where the honest answer is to call 999 instead.

How much does it cost to see a cardiologist in the UK?

A private cardiologist consultation in the UK typically costs between about £200 and £350 for an initial appointment, with tests charged separately. At London Private Ultrasound a Consultant Cardiologist consultation starts at £249 and includes the clinical assessment, examination and a written summary.

Patients searching for the cost of private cardiology consultation UK or for private cardiologist London prices should note that tests are priced separately: a 12-lead ECG is £119, an echocardiogram is £299 and Holter monitoring starts at £449. If you would rather have the consultation and the core tests together, the Heart Health Check (£449) bundles the cardiologist consultation, echocardiogram, ECG and cardiovascular examination.

Do I need a GP referral to see a private cardiologist in London?

No. If you are searching for a private cardiologist near me or a private cardiologist London patients can self-refer to, every service on this page can be booked directly with no GP referral, including the cardiologist consultation, ECG, echocardiogram, Holter monitoring and the screening packages.

If you already have a GP letter, a previous ECG, an echo report or a medication list, bring it, because it gives the cardiologist useful context. Nothing about it is a condition of booking.

How quickly can I get a private cardiology appointment in London?

Faster than most people expect. If you are looking for private cardiology near me or simply cardiology near me with a short wait, same-day and next-day appointments are frequently available at both clinics, seven days a week from 9am to 7pm. Availability varies by day and by test, so call 020 7101 3377 or use the live booking calendar on each service page for the soonest slot.

Holter monitoring is fitted at the appointment and the report follows once the device is returned and the recording has been analysed, usually within three to five working days.

Which hospital in London is best for cardiology?

There is no single best hospital, and any page claiming otherwise is selling something. London has several internationally recognised NHS cardiac centres, including Royal Brompton and Harefield, Barts Heart Centre and Guy’s and St Thomas’, and those are where complex intervention, surgery and inpatient care belong.

The same caution applies to searches for the best cardiology clinic in London. A private cardiology clinic like ours answers a different question: fast access to a consultant cardiologist, an ECG, an echocardiogram or rhythm monitoring, with a written report you can take to any of those centres. Choose a hospital for treatment, and a clinic like this one for assessment, diagnosis and speed.

Who is the top cardiologist in London?

Lists of the best cardiologist London has to offer are usually marketing rather than measurement, so the more useful question is whether a cardiologist is the right fit for your problem. Check three things: that they are GMC registered and on the specialist register for cardiology, that their subspecialty matches your concern, because heart failure, valve disease, rhythm problems and hypertension are different areas of expertise, and who actually performs and interprets your scan.

Our cardiology team is Dr Farveh Vakilian, Dr Hana Pospisilova and Dr Mohammad Al-Majali, all GMC registered, and your echocardiogram is performed and interpreted by a cardiologist rather than passed to a technician.

What is the difference between an ECG, an echocardiogram and a Holter monitor?

They answer three different questions. A 12-lead ECG records the heart’s electrical activity at a single moment and is the test for rhythm and conduction right now. An echocardiogram is an ultrasound of the heart that shows structure, valves and pumping function as a moving image. A Holter monitor records your rhythm continuously over three to seven days of ordinary life.

Symptoms happening constantly point to an ECG, structural questions point to an echocardiogram, and intermittent symptoms point to Holter monitoring. Many patients combine them in a single visit.

What happens at a private cardiology appointment?

Your cardiologist reviews your symptoms, family history, medication, risk factors and any previous investigations, then performs a cardiovascular examination including blood pressure, heart sounds and pulse. Any tests booked for that visit, such as an ECG or echocardiogram, are performed and interpreted in the same appointment.

You then get a plain-English explanation of what has been found and a defined plan, with a written consultation letter for you and your GP.

I have chest pain. Should I book a private cardiology appointment?

No, not if the pain is happening now. Current chest pain, especially with breathlessness, sweating, collapse or pain spreading to the arm or jaw, needs 999 or A&E immediately rather than a booked appointment.

A private cardiology clinic is the right route once urgent causes have been excluded, or for symptoms that come and go, or for assessment of risk factors and previous abnormal results.

How much is a private echocardiogram in London?

An echocardiogram at London Private Ultrasound is £299, all-inclusive and cardiologist-led. That covers the scan, the findings explained on the day and a written report within 24 hours.

Across London private echocardiograms generally range from about £179 at sonographer-led clinics to £500 and above at consultant-led hospital cardiology clinics. When comparing prices, check who performs and interprets the scan and whether a written report is included.

How much does Holter monitoring cost?

Holter monitoring starts at £449 for three days, £549 for five days and £649 for seven days, with a free ECG included in every package.

Adding a cardiology consultation takes it to £599, £699 and £799 for the same durations, and adding both a consultation and an echocardiogram takes it to £799, £899 and £999. Choose three days if symptoms happen often, five if they are less predictable, and seven if they are occasional.

What is included in the Heart Health Check?

The £449 Heart Health Check includes a Consultant Cardiologist consultation, an echocardiogram, a 12-lead ECG and a cardiovascular physical examination, all in one visit and all inclusive.

It is the appointment for anyone who wants a proper cardiac baseline rather than a single test, whether that is because of symptoms, family history, blood pressure or fitness screening. Higher tiers add GP review, advanced cardiovascular blood tests and carotid Doppler.

What is included in the Heart & Stroke Risk Screening?

The £649 screening combines four checks in one cardiologist-led appointment: a carotid artery duplex ultrasound for stroke-risk plaque and narrowing, an Ankle-Brachial Index measurement for peripheral arterial disease, an abdominal aortic aneurysm ultrasound, and a 12-lead ECG for atrial fibrillation.

All four are interpreted together by a cardiologist and you receive a same-day written report. The appointment takes about an hour and there is no radiation involved.

What is a private heart check, and is it the same as a heart clinic appointment?

A private heart check is a bundled assessment rather than a single test. Ours combines a cardiologist consultation, an echocardiogram, a 12-lead ECG and a cardiovascular examination in one visit at £449. People searching for a private heart check near me, a heart clinic, a cardiac clinic or a private heart scan near me usually want exactly this: one appointment that looks at rhythm and structure together and ends with a plan.

A heart specialist London appointment on its own, sometimes searched as a private heart specialist or heart doctor near me, is the consultation element by itself at £249. Book the consultation if you mainly want an opinion on symptoms or previous results, and the private heart clinic package if you want the tests done in the same visit.

Can I see a cardiologist privately for a second opinion?

Yes, and it is one of the more common reasons people book. Bring the reports and, where possible, the images from any previous ECG, echocardiogram, Holter recording, angiogram or blood tests.

Your cardiologist reviews them alongside your symptoms and examination, explains what the findings do and do not mean, and sets out whether anything further is needed. You receive a written letter you can take back to your GP or existing specialist.

Can I use private medical insurance?

Many insurers cover cardiology consultation and cardiac investigations when they are clinically indicated. Cover and pre-authorisation requirements vary by policy, so check with your insurer before booking, as self-pay prices may differ from insurer-negotiated rates.

Many patients simply self-pay for speed, and the written report can be shared with an insurer, GP or specialist afterwards.

How quickly will I get my results and report?

For a consultation, echocardiogram or ECG, the findings are explained to you during the appointment and the written report follows within 24 hours, formatted so your GP, NHS cardiology team or private consultant can act on it.

Holter monitoring results usually take three to five working days after the device is returned, because the full recording has to be analysed and reviewed. Anything that needs prompt attention is flagged at the time rather than left to the report.

Is there a private cardiology clinic near me in London?

Yes. For anyone searching cardiology clinic London, cardiologist London or cardiologist near me, our Central London cardiology clinic is at 27 Welbeck Street, W1G 8EN, in the Harley Street Medical District, two minutes from Bond Street on the Elizabeth, Central and Jubilee lines. That puts it within a direct journey of most of London: around 15 minutes from Liverpool Street, Canary Wharf and Stratford in the east, 10 from Paddington in the west, and 15 from Victoria, Waterloo and London Bridge in the south.

Our second clinic is at 54–56 Victoria Street, St Albans AL1 3HZ, a short walk from St Albans City station, which is usually easier for patients across Hertfordshire and outer north London. Both run seven days a week, 9am to 7pm.

This page is for general information and does not replace individual medical advice. Private cardiology assessment complements NHS care and is not an emergency service. Call 999 or attend A&E for chest pain, severe breathlessness, collapse, stroke symptoms such as face drooping, arm weakness or slurred speech, or any symptom that feels immediately dangerous. London Private Ultrasound provides cardiology consultation, ECG, echocardiography, Holter monitoring, vascular Doppler and cardiovascular blood testing; angiography, stress testing, cardiac MRI and inpatient cardiac treatment are arranged onward.
