Struggling with a Pollen Allergy in London? You're Not Alone.
Tree and grass pollen allergies are among the most common seasonal health concerns in the UK.

These symptoms can interfere with sleep, concentration, school performance, mood and day-to-day routines.

Our Allergy Testing Services
-
Skin Prick Testing
This in-clinic test is quick, minimally uncomfortable, and suitable for adults and children. Small amounts of common tree and grass pollen extracts are applied to the skin, and we monitor for any reactions. Results are usually available within 20 minutes.
-
Specific IgE Blood Testing
For patients who cannot undergo skin testing—due to medications, skin conditions, or preference—we offer laboratory-based blood tests that measure allergen-specific IgE levels. This is especially useful for those with multiple suspected allergies or complex medical histories.
-
Pollen Panels Tailored for the UK
Our testing panels include the most common tree and grass pollens affecting people in London and across the UK, including birch, oak, plane, ryegrass, timothy, and meadow grasses. We tailor the testing based on your symptoms and exposure history.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Birch trees are the most common trigger, followed by oak, alder, plane and hazel. These trees typically release pollen between March and early May. In urban areas like London, pollution can interact with tree pollen and intensify allergic reactions.
-
Grass pollen is usually at its highest from late May to August, with a peak in mid-to-late June. Some people are allergic to multiple grass types, which can result in a prolonged allergy season.
-
Unlike colds, which resolve in a week and often come with a fever, pollen allergies last for weeks or months and cause repetitive, itchy symptoms—such as watery eyes and sneezing fits—often triggered by outdoor exposure.
-
Yes. Children are often sensitive to pollen from a young age. Left untreated, hay fever can affect their school performance, sleep, and even lead to asthma development. We offer gentle testing and child-specific treatment plans.
-
Yes. Our clinic provides both sublingual (under-the-tongue tablet) and subcutaneous (injection) immunotherapy, which gradually reduces your sensitivity to pollen over time. This is ideal for people with severe or persistent seasonal allergies.
