The department is equipped with a dedicated imaging facility which includes three x-ray rooms, an ultrasound suite and two state-of-the-art CT scanners. This is in addition to the main diagnostic imaging departments on the first and second floor.
Opening hours:
- 24-hours

Directions to The Royal London Hospital

Opening hours:
- Monday to Friday: 7am-10pm
- Weekends and bank holidays: 9am-10pm
