Care in Tokyo, our nearest city to Seoul

Tokyo is the closest of our cities to Seoul. Appointments there are arranged with the best clinics in the city and followed by your concierge, with private GP from ¥60,500, doctor at your home or hotel from ¥184,000, executive health from ¥653,500 and full body MRI from ¥232,500.

Anyone can request an appointment today, and members are seen first. Because your record travels with you, a doctor in London picks up exactly where your doctor in Tokyo stopped.

Care in London for people from Seoul

Our clinics are on Baker Street in Marylebone and Eccleston Street in Belgravia, open from early morning to evening every day. A GP appointment is £150, a doctor to your hotel is £450, and the executive physical, a full day with one physician and every result reviewed before you leave, is £2,995.

Your concierge plans any specialist, scan or test around your dates in London, so that a visit of a few days is enough.

Travelling to London for care

Holders of a passport from South Korea can apply for an electronic travel authorisation, which costs £20 and allows a visit of up to 6 months [1] [2]. Medical treatment is among the reasons a visitor may come [3].

Health care in Seoul

The Republic of Korea achieved universal health coverage of its population in 1989, just 12 years after it introduced social health insurance. [4]

The National Health Insurance Service provides health insurance to all citizens living in Korea through a compulsory national scheme. [5]

Seoul has a population of 9,579,449, by the Seoul Metropolitan Government figure for the first quarter of 2026. [6]

Arranging a visit from Seoul

Message your concierge on WhatsApp or request an appointment here, and tell us the dates you can travel and the question you most want answered. We reply within the hour, at any time of day in Seoul, and propose appointment times before you book a flight.

Where a visit includes scans or blood tests, we set them early in your stay, so that your doctor can go through every result with you before you leave. Specialist appointments are arranged on the days around it, and each fee is told to you before anything is confirmed.

Time zones and travel

Calls with your doctor are set for a sensible hour in Seoul, once we know your time zone. If the flight is long, most people prefer to rest on the day they land and be seen the next morning, and your concierge plans for that.

Before you travel, a checklist

A little preparation lets a doctor see the whole picture on the first day.

  • Your recent results and letters, in English where you can, on your phone or on paper
  • A list of your medicines and their doses, with a letter from your doctor for any that are restricted
  • The question you most want answered, written down
  • The dates you are in the city, so your concierge can plan tests and results around them

When you are home again

Your doctor can follow up by telephone or video wherever you are, and your plan stays in your record. If you need care where you live, your concierge can help you find it and send your letters ahead, with your consent.

Letters go to you in English, ready for a doctor in Seoul, and your results stay in your record after you leave. Next time you come, nothing has to be repeated.
