Valuables Please avoid bringing valuables, credit cards or large amounts of money into the Hospice as we cannot guarantee their safety. Smoking We support a 'No Smoking' policy. However, we do recognize that for some patients, smoking is an important part of their day and helps them relax. We therefore provide an outside smoking area for patients. A visitors smoking area is located outside the gates of the Hospice. Please telephone 020-8320 5820 for further information.
