Our Women’s Hospital has a restaurant located on the lower ground floor that serves freshly-cooked meals for breakfast and lunch along with a selection of salads and sandwiches and other snack items. You'll also find a coffee shop on the ground floor near the main entrance. Our Children’s Hospital also has a restaurant located downstairs on the lower ground floor that serves cooked meals as well as cold food for breakfast and lunch every day. The Children’s Hospital also has a Costa Coffee outlet in the Conservatory area which serves hot and cold drinks and snacks and a Crussh outlet near the main entrance. Crussh serves delicious healthy meals and snacks and was the first Crussh to be opened outside London - if you've never been to one before it's definitely worth stopping by and giving their food or healthy drinks and smoothies a try. If you are staying with us as a patient on one of our wards, you will also be served food via our ward trolleys. Both hospitals also have a shop near the main entrance selling cold drinks and snacks as well as newspapers, books and magazines.

The Women’s Hospital cash office is located just off the main foyer. Mobile phones and internet access When you are staying with us, you’re welcome to bring your own mobile phones and other electronic equipment into our hospitals and use them when you need to – you just need to make sure they’ve been tested by our electricians before plugging in any chargers or power supplies. Just ask your ward clerk and they’ll arrange this for you. You can use your mobile phone in most areas of the hospital. On wards where there is equipment that might be affected by your phone, there will be notices asking you to switch it off. We do ask that you are considerate about other patients on the ward, keep the sound off or use headphones and only answer or make calls in an appropriate place to limit the disturbance to others. Charging At our Women’s Hospital, we have a charging point in the main entrance area of the hospital that visitors can use to make sure their phone is topped up for all of those essential calls you’ll need to make when there is a new arrival in the family. At the Children's Hospital, a charging point can be found in Main Outpatients. WiFi Our hospitals have guest WiFi that patients and families can use. At the Children’s Hospital, you’ll need to ask your ward clerk for the WiFi code to get connected and at the Women’s Hospital, you can join our guest network by registering with your phone number. Please note that WiFi speeds vary from area to area.
