Singer Kimberly Wyatt cut the ribbon at Chase Lodge Hospital in Mill Hill on November 13.
The centre, which aims to offer rapid, expert medical care for patients who need urgent attention, will operate as an alternative to long waiting times in A&E departments.
Ms Wyatt said: “As a mum, I know how stressful it can be when someone you love suddenly gets sick or hurt.
“At Chase Lodge Hospital, you’re triaged quickly — within about 20 minutes — and can get instant diagnostics on-site.
“It just takes away that panic of not knowing what’s going on.
“The team and facilities are brilliant too, with everything from modern treatment rooms to theatres for when more advanced care is needed.”
She was joined at the launch by TV doctor Hilary Jones, Love Island contestant and musician Wes Nelson, and former model and actress Linda Lusardi.
The London Urgent Care Centre is the only one in the capital and was created by three doctors with experience in emergency medicine: Dr Raeen Farrokhnik, Dr Jalal Moradzadeh, and Dr Andre van Nierop.
Dr Van Nierop said: “With A&E departments under enormous pressure, there’s never been a greater need for rapid, affordable access to quality medical care.
“We built the London Urgent Care Centre at Chase Lodge Hospital to give patients what they need most in an emergency — calm, confidence, and care from senior doctors who can act fast and provide answers when every minute matters.”
The private centre offers triage within 20 minutes and consultations with senior emergency doctors for £99.
It is equipped with on-site imaging and diagnostics such as X-ray, MRI, ultrasound, ECG, and blood tests.
Other services include urgent prescriptions, routine health checks, 24/7 emergency dental care, and same-day consultant referrals.
The facility also includes a day surgery unit for consultant-led procedures, as well as health checks and physicals for school or sports.
The centre’s founders plan to roll out to other communities across the UK.
