About this service
The Havens care for people in London who have been sexually assaulted or raped in the last 12 months.
We offer urgent and follow-up care, including:
support, advice, and counselling
medical care, such as emergency contraception and infection prevention
forensic examinations to collect evidence
Some of our services are time-dependent, so please phone us to discuss this.
We can help you to contact the police and report what has happened, and it is their duty to investigate. If you report the assault to the police first, they will organise your visit to us. Please note, all children under 13 must be referred to us by the police or local children’s social care team (depending on the circumstances).
We respect our patients’ confidentiality and right to privacy. Where appropriate and necessary for your care, safety and wellbeing or to assist the investigation, we will discuss with you what information can be shared and how.

We’re here to help you if you’ve been sexually assaulted or raped in the past 12 months.
If you have been sexually assaulted or raped in the last seven days and would like advice or an urgent appointment, please call us on 020 3299 6900, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (unless you are aged under 13). When we need to see you urgently, we aim to see you within 90 minutes.
If the assault or rape happened more than seven days ago, please call us on 020 3299 1599, 9am to 5pm, Monday to Friday (not public/bank holidays), unless you are aged under 13. We can help you with queries about follow-up and aftercare appointments and answer general enquiries. You can also email us at: [email protected]
We have three centres in London that cover the whole of the city:
Camberwell Haven, near to King’s College Hospital (south)
Whitechapel Haven, near to Royal London Hospital (east)
Paddington Haven, near to St Charles Centre for Health and Wellbeing (west)
The Havens are not a walk-in service. Survivors and professionals need to book an appointment.
