We have 3 branches, our main branch in Charlton and 2 further branches; our Ludgershall branch runs consults and operations, and finally, our Whitchurch branch is consult-only. All 3 branches have been recently refurbished and sit within a stone’s throw from the countryside, but also have fantastic links to London (on the train) and the coast within 1hr 30mins.
