[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thanks for all the thoughtful responses, I really appreciate it.

I will definitely check with my employer but overall my plan was to rent a flat in London the entire time, have the wife and kids explore London thoughout the work week and then sometimes take 3 or 4 day weekend trips to other parts of the country.

Oh, and I wouldn’t be doing this until next summer at the earliest.

The last time we were in London this past spring break, my daughter was still taking amoxicillin from a bout of strep the week prior and had a bad reaction which resulted in hives all over her body. We took her to the hospital right next to Westminster bridge and they saw us in an hour and we didn’t pay a dime. Was that an odd one-off, and would I have to plan something related to health insurance prior to doing this?

Thanks again. [/quote]

ER services (A&E) are always free to everyone. Urgent Treatment Centres, like Urgent Care here, are also free at point of care and you don’t need an address so will in practice be free, though I think in theory you should be charged somehow. You should still have at least travel health insurance though, because if something happens that isn’t an emergency and you want access to better services, you’ll need to cover that[/quote]
