  4. Tell us your views about the new location of your sexual health clinic

    A brick building with large glass doors, two colourful circular mandala murals on the wall, CCTV cameras, and several wall signs. Previously a Streatham Hill sexual health clinic, it has now been closed; the entrance has a yellow accessibility rail and paved walkway.

    Lambeth Council wants to know what you think about the move to Minnie Kidd House Sexual Health clinic from the Streatham Hill site. This will ensure that the services provided meet your needs and expectations.

    Local authorities have the responsibility to ensure open access sexual health services, providing contraceptives, STI testing and treatment, and sexual health advice.
