We carried out announced comprehensive assessments of the London Autism Clinic and 1 Kingdom Street on 10 and 11 February 2026.
We rated this service as good.
Autism Clinic London is an independent provider that carries out Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) assessments for children aged 2-14 at their 2 locations; London Autism Clinic and 1 Kingdom Street.
They provide private self-funded assessments, as well as partnering with local NHS trusts to provide assessments on their behalf. At the time of inspection, around 80% of the clinic’s work was for NHS patients.
The service offered face to face appointments, as well as remote video appointments.
At the time of inspection, the service had 7 employed operations administrative staff. The clinical staff were all sessional associate members of staff, and were not directly employed by the service. There were 15 Paediatricians, 9 speech and language therapists, 5 psychologists, 2 assistant psychologists, 1 dietitian, and 1 occupational therapist.
This was the first inspection of these locations.
As part of the assessment, we spoke with 10 members of staff and 5 carers. We observed one assessment. We reviewed the care and treatment records of 10 patients. We also received written feedback from 7 carers.
We visited and assessed both of the provider’s locations as part of this assessment. The governance processes, staffing group and patient group were the same for both locations. The same patient was often seen at both locations for the different parts of their assessment. For example, their physical health examination at one location, followed by their observational assessment in their other location. For this reason, we have 1 report which covers what we found from the 2 locations.
At this assessment we found several areas of good practice.
All carers were very positive about the care they received at the service. All carers told us they felt involved in their child’s assessments and felt the recommendations reflected their child’s individual needs.
All carers reported staff were kind, knowledgeable and professional.
Staff spoke positively about working for the service. They told us they felt the management team were approachable, supportive and knowledgeable. Staff told us they enjoyed working at the service and were proud of the work of the team.
Assessments were carried out in line with national guidance, by competent members of staff. Carers told us the assessment process was clearly explained to both the adults and the children.
The service had created a range of videos and social media posts to support all families, on topics such as promoting healthy diet and sleep.
The service supported the wider neurodevelopmental community by working closely with charities and being involved in training course.
