LONDON AMBULANCE SERVICE
The ambulance service for the whole of Greater London is
provided by the Greater London Council. Ambulance stations
within the Borough are sited in Hayes Lane, Bromley and Croydon
Road, Penge, but service is provided in addition from other
stations sited outside the Borough. There is a main control in
Bromley which covers the whole of South East London for nonemergency
work. All emergency calls are routed directly to a
Central Emergency Control at Ambulance Headquarters which
directs ambulances by radio and by direct telephone lines to
ambulance stations.
