How to Obtain an Ambulance or Ambulance
Omnibus.
The vehicles are available at any hour of the day
or night including Sundays and public holidays.
To call an ambulance by telephone, in case of
accident or sudden illness in the street, place the
telephone receiver to the ear (and dial "O" if
connected to an automatic exchange). When the
operator answers, ask for "ambulance" and wait for
the reply " ambulance "; then give particulars.
In cases other than accident, etc., the following
telephone number should be used:—WATerloo 3311.
This number is connected to the central call office
for ambulances which is open continuously and is
located at the London County Council, County Hall,
S.E.1.
Applications for vehicles may also be made by
letter, telegraph, or personal call at the central call
office or any of the ambulance stations.
Letters should be addressed to the Medical Officer
of Health, London Ambulance Service, County
Hall, S.E.1.
