London Hernia is uniquely placed as the only specialist hernia centre that is part of a private hospital. We specialise in hernia repairs, with all consultations, treatment and surgery performed by our experienced Consultant Surgeons. Our team offer unrivalled experience in treating hernias, including complex cases that have been turned down by other hospitals or surgeons.
The most common location for hernia is the abdomen. The abdominal wall, a sheet of tough muscle and tendon that runs down from the ribs to the legs at the groins, acts as the body’s corset. Its function, amongst other things, is to hold in the abdominal contents, principally the intestines.
If a weakness should open up in that wall, then the corset effect is lost and what pushes against it from the inside (the intestines) simply pushes through the opening. The ensuing bulge, which is often quite visible against the skin, is the hernia.
Our specialist hernia clinic London Hernia offers the finest treatment of hernias, utilising the latest techniques and surgeries, performed by expert Consultant Surgeons with experience performing tens of thousands of hernia surgeries. London Hernia was established as the only specialist hernia clinic that is part of a private hospital.

If you are self-paying you don’t need a referral from your GP for a consultation. You can simply refer yourself* and book an appointment.
If you have health insurance (e.g. Bupa, Axa Health, Aviva), you will need to contact your insurer to get authorisation before any treatment, and in most cases you will also require a referral letter from your GP.
If you are not registered with a GP, we have an in-house private GP practice you can use. Alternatively, we can suggest the most appropriate course of action for you to take, given your location and individual circumstances.
*Please note – for investigations such as X-rays and MRIs, a referral will be required. However, we may be able to arrange this for you through our on-site private GP.
