At Whitby & Co, excellence in clinical care is our highest priority and we are deeply committed to providing the highest professional standards of care. Whether or not you wear spectacles or contact lenses, a regular eye examination is an essential part of modern preventive health care.

 

In addition to this, we also have a variety of professional healthcare specialists all under the one roof in the Fleet Street Clinic. In our convenient central London location you will also find the following services: Private GP, Chiropody/Podiatry, Physiotherapy, Osteopathy, Dental Care, Psychological Services, Flu Vaccination and more.

At Whitby & Co, you will find:

  • Free, expert advice, carefully tailored to your needs: if you are conscious of the weight, lens thickness or comfort of your spectacles, we will assess what can be done to help you see more clearly and to improve the appearance of your spectacles. We understand the importance of achieving the right image.
  • State-of-the-art equipment and technology in eye examination. For example, we routinely use video imaging to demonstrate any problems that may be detected, and to explain what needs to be done for prevention or treatment.
  • A choice of over 1000 carefully selected spectacle frames from Europe, Japan and the USA, and from traditional styles to contemporary fashions, but always at competitive prices; plus the latest technology in spectacle lenses.
  • The latest contact lenses, whether for daily wear or just for sports, skiing or special occasions.
  • The most fashionable sunglasses and sports eyewear (including diving, swimming and ski goggles).
  • Our own in-house laboratory, which means you won't have to wait: for all but the most complex prescriptions, our spectacles can be dispensed on the same day.
  • Knowledgeable, qualified members of staff, always on the premises, ready to deal with ocular emergencies such as foreign bodies, red eyes, etc, and able to arrange prompt referral to an ophthalmologist when necessary.
  • An elegant and relaxed environment: Whitby & Co. is located in a carefully-restored Edwardian former banking hall.

Our senior optometrist and contact lens practitioner, Gillian Whitby, BSc MCOptom, has practised in Fleet Street since 1983, and has a formidable record in understanding and looking after the optical needs of people working nearby.
