Hi, I've had two babies at Lewisham the most recent in Feb 2020 and I agree with the poster above, it was absolutely brilliant. The birth centre is unreal. It's like a spa hotel and we got to stay the night there after in our own room with a double bed and ensuite. Completely different experience from being on a ward with your partner sleeping on a chair. Be aware though that they are strict on who can use the birth centre. I wanted to use it for my first baby in June 2018 but because my waters had broken a while before they said I had to go to labour ward instead. Which was also fine but you dont get your own private room afterwards. In both birth centre and labour ward they bring you tea and toast with jam after you've had the baby! Apparently kings dont do this, very important consideration! The other thing I liked about Lewisham is that the first time when I was on labour ward my room had a beautiful view over ladywell fields which I did really appreciate. Happy to answer anything else you want to know about my experience there.
