Life East London Private Hospital Visiting Hours

Visiting times
General wards
11:00 to 12:00 and 14:00 to 20:00
Intensive care unit
11:00 to 12:00
15:00 to 16:00
19:15 to 20:15

The general wards here keep a six-hour afternoon window from 14:00 to 20:00, which is among the most generous of any Life hospital, with two visitors per patient. Intensive care is the opposite: three short slots, strictly two visitors, immediate family only, and nobody under 12. This is an internal medicine hospital rather than a surgical one, so many patients are in for longer courses of treatment such as dialysis or cancer care, and the long afternoon reflects that.
