Our Cambridge ear wax removal location is within Kent Sports Academy on Javelin Way. There is ample parking directly outside with disabled access to the clinic.
Many people in North West London are finding that their local GP surgery no longer offers ear syringing. No doubt this is partly due to a lack of funding, but also because ear syringing is inherently less safe than ear micro suction. Possible side effects of ear syringing or irrigation are ear infection, hearing loss, tinnitus, perforation of the ear drum, and further impaction of the ear wax (i.e. the ear wax gets pushed even harder against the ear drum). Is it any wonder that people are going off walk in ear syringing in London and are seeking out microsuction ear wax removal instead? Unfortunately, the sharp rise in demand has meant that NHS micro suction clinics are now unable to meet the need and waiting times are often over two to three months.
You no longer need to wait months for micro suction. Why not save time by going private? It’s not as expensive as you think. Simply head to our booking page and you could be saying goodbye to your wax blockage this week!
Lord Byron Had a Pet Bear at University (As You Do!) When told he couldn’t bring his dog to Trinity College, the poet Lord Byron cheekily brought a bear instead. Since no rule explicitly forbade it, the college had no grounds to expel it.

The Eagle Pub Holds DNA’s Greatest Secret At The Eagle pub, Watson and Crick famously announced they had “discovered the secret of life.” A blue plaque marks the event — but locals say the pub is also haunted by wartime airmen.
The Corpus Clock’s “Time-Eater” Doesn’t Tick Normally The Chronophage — a grotesque insect sculpture on the Corpus Clock — appears to devour time. The clock runs fast, then slow, then stops… all by design, to symbolise the unpredictability of life.
There Are Ghost Stories in Nearly Every College From phantom scholars to floating monks, many colleges report ghostly sightings. Emmanuel College supposedly has a haunted library, and Trinity has tales of ghostly footsteps in the cloisters.

The Mathematical Bridge Was Once Taken Apart by Curious Students Legend says students once dismantled Queen’s College’s Mathematical Bridge to understand its structure, but couldn’t reassemble it without nails. The truth? It’s just a myth — but a good one.
Stephen Hawking Had a Reserved Spot at a Chinese Restaurant Hawking frequently dined at The Peking Restaurant. Staff say his table was always kept ready — and that he once requested a special dish not on the menu, which they named after him.
The Real Alice (from Wonderland) Lived Nearby Alice Liddell, the inspiration for *Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland*, frequently visited Cambridge. Though Carroll was based at Oxford, the story had many ties to Cambridge acquaintances.

The Grass Is Sacred — Don’t Walk on It At many colleges, students can’t walk on the grass in courtyards unless they’re fellows. It’s such a deeply ingrained rule that doing so is considered rebellious… or brave.
There’s a Door in a Wall That Leads Nowhere One of King’s College’s oldest walls has a bricked-up doorway with no historical records. No one knows where it originally led — or why it was sealed shut.
The May Ball Is Held in June Cambridge’s famous May Balls — lavish all-night student parties — don’t actually happen in May. They’re held in June, after exams, but tradition stubbornly holds onto the old name.
Darwin’s Beetle Collection Was Nearly Lost to a Flood Charles Darwin’s precious beetle collection was stored at Christ’s College. A 19th-century flood threatened to destroy it — but quick-thinking dons rescued the boxes by forming a human chain.
