300+ allergens tested from a single blood draw. Clinician-interpreted results. No GP referral needed. Serving Wimbledon (SW19/SW20) residents at our Surbiton clinic — approximately 20 minutes by car.
Lambert Medical Practice is at 380 Ewell Road, Tolworth, Surbiton KT6 7BE — approximately 6 miles and a 20-minute drive from Wimbledon town centre.
From Wimbledon, take the A298 (Kingston Road) south-west, continuing through New Malden to Tolworth. The clinic is on Ewell Road. Journey time is typically 20 minutes.
From Wimbledon station, take a South Western Railway service to Surbiton (via Kingston or direct). From Surbiton, the clinic is a short taxi ride along Ewell Road towards Tolworth.
Bus services from Wimbledon via Kingston Road serve the Tolworth area. The 213 and K3 routes connect Wimbledon to Kingston, from where connections towards Tolworth are available.
Around 20 minutes by car. The route via Kingston Road is straightforward outside of peak hours.
Wimbledon is famous worldwide for its grass courts — but Wimbledon Common, the golf courses, and the abundant green spaces of SW19 and SW20 also mean Wimbledon residents are exposed to substantial grass and tree pollen throughout spring and summer. This is a known contributor to some of the highest hayfever rates in the country.
Yet many Wimbledon residents with allergies have never received a comprehensive allergy test. Standard NHS testing is limited, and even many private allergy panels test only a fraction of the allergens that ALEX3 covers. If you have been managing symptoms without clear answers, the ALEX3 test offers something different: 300 allergens at the molecular level, from a single blood draw, with clinician-interpreted results that identify your precise triggers.
Symptoms that frequently prompt allergy testing in our Wimbledon patients include:
ALEX3 (Allergy Explorer 3) is a molecular component-resolved allergy test that analyses 300 allergens including 218 individual molecular protein components from a single blood draw. It represents a significant advance over both standard skin prick tests and basic IgE blood panels.
The difference lies in molecular resolution. Standard allergy tests measure your reaction to crude allergen extracts — essentially a mixture of proteins from a source like grass pollen or peanut. ALEX3 goes deeper, measuring your IgE response to specific individual proteins within those allergens. This distinction has real clinical implications:
ALEX3 requires no antihistamine withdrawal and no fasting. Results are available in 7–10 working days as a detailed clinician-reviewed report. The test is used by NHS specialist allergy centres for complex cases; Lambert Medical brings this technology to Wimbledon residents without a referral or waiting list.
Grass pollens (Timothy, Rye, Bermuda), tree pollens (birch, oak, alder, hazel), weed pollens. Particularly relevant for Wimbledon residents with high grass pollen exposure near the Common and parklands.
D. pteronyssinus, D. farinae, storage mites. A major cause of year-round rhinitis, eczema, and disturbed sleep in UK homes.
Cat, dog, horse, guinea pig, hamster, rabbit, mouse, rat allergens with individual molecular components.
All 14 major allergens and more — nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, shellfish, fish, soy, sesame, fruits, vegetables — with specific molecular components for severity assessment.
Alternaria, Aspergillus, Cladosporium, Penicillium — common triggers in damp environments and during autumn months.
Honeybee, common wasp, paper wasp, hornet venoms for anaphylaxis risk assessment, plus natural rubber latex.
