Bedford Gardens publishes times for its intensive care and maternity units rather than one hospital-wide timetable, and both run the same three slots. Only two visitors at a time in either, and no children under 12 in ICU. A birthing partner may stay from 07:00 to 20:00 after the delivery. The retail pharmacy is open until 18:00 on weekdays and until 14:00 at weekends, which is worth knowing if you are collecting medication after an evening visit.
