From Scrubs to Stays: Why Medical Professionals in London Choose

Doctor in the House for Accommodation 

 
London is a global hub for medical education, academic research, and clinical training. Every year, thousands of professionals, medical students, and postgraduate researchers travel to the city for medical electives, rotations, residencies, conferences. Medical doctors travel to the UK to enrol in courses such as the MRCP(UK), MRCOG, and PACES. While these opportunities can be career-defining, finding suitable accommodation close to hospitals or research centres can be a challenge.
 
Scoping out Your Area
 
A short commute makes all the difference when you’re navigating a new city. London is a vast place made up of a number of smaller areas. Central north London areas such as Angel in Islington, Bloomsbury, or Fitzrovia provide the best connection to University College London Hospital (UCLH), The Crick, and Great Ormond Street Hospital. 
 
King’s College Hospital in South London is a major teaching hospital that is well connected to Camberwell, Herne Hill, and Dulwich. Wonderful West London has Imperial College London and the Royal Marsden. South Kensington and Earl’s Court are perfect for accessing these institutions. Putney and Hammersmith also provide good connections.
 
East London's Moorfields Eye Hospital can be accessed from exciting areas such as Shoreditch and Hackney.
Medical Professionals are Unique Guests
 

Doctors, researchers, and postgraduate students often have working lives that are unpredictable and demanding. Shifts can stretch into twelve hours, exams loom, and night duties leave little time for rest. In these circumstances, accommodation needs are different from those of tourists. Some medical visitors require a quiet study area to prepare for exams, while others simply need a comfortable room to sleep after a night at the hospital. Above all, short-term housing for doctors in London must be quiet, convenient, and clean so that guests can focus on their work and recovery.

Doctor in the House was developed with these needs in mind. Medical professionals coming to London for electives, research fellowships, a cardiology refresher course, or specialist training often stay for weeks or months. 

These stays are usually too long for hotels, yet too short for standard rental contracts. Our properties are designed to bridge that gap, offering practical and flexible accommodation close to the city's teaching hospitals and research centres.

 
A Space to Unwind
 

Working away from home is not a holiday. Medical professionals in London want a clean, calm, and comfortable environment to go back to. Peace-and-quiet can be difficult to find in short term rentals or hotels with tourists. Doctor in the House guests are looking for a unique place to stay.

Bespoke housing allows doctors and researchers to settle quickly, with the reassurance of a comforting environment. Having a dedicated place to rest or study means medical visitors can concentrate on their work and enjoying the city in their own home away from home. This balance of focus and comfort helps make demanding periods of study, research, or clinical training far more manageable.
