At Walk in Clinic, we provide private allergy testing in London for children and adults.

We use Skin Prick Test solutions or allergens for performing the tests. Our extensive range of Prick-to-Prick skin tests take samples from the foods that might you might be allergic to. Bring the sample with you for testing at our clinic. All allergy testing is performed by or under the supervision of our Consultant Immunologist, registered on the Specialist Register of the GMC. What is an Allergy? Allergies are actually hypersensitive responses from your immune system to the substances that may either come into contact or enter the body. These substances consist of irritants such as bee venom, pollen or pet dander. Anything can be an allergen in the event of an adverse reaction in the immune system. A substance that can lead to an allergic reaction is known as an allergen. Allergens are usually found in foods, drinks, or the environment.
