As a full account of the L.C.C. ambulance arrangements

following synopsis may suffice :
How to Obtain an Ambulance or Ambulance

The vehicles are available at any hour of the day
or night including Sundays and public holidays.
To call an ambulance by telephone, in cases of
accident or sudden illness in the street, place the
telephone receiver to the ear (and dial "0" 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:—HOP 0262.
This number is connected to the central call office
for ambulances which is open continuously and is
located at the London County Council, Victoria
Embankment Offices, E.C.4.
Applications for vehicles may also be made by
letter, telegraph, or personal call at the central call
office or any of the ambulance stations.
