Rainbow QuarterBlackpool's inclusive quarter: everyone welcome

South King Street

Home of South King Street Medical Centre, a GP practice with the LGBT inclusion quality mark.

South King Street is a town-centre street running south from the Church Street area, inland from the Tower.

South King Street Medical Centre

South King Street Medical Centre at 25 South King Street (FY1 4NF) holds the full county LGBT inclusion quality mark, awarded in 2022, so it has worked on being welcoming for LGBTQ+ patients. The NHS lists it as accepting new patients. It is one of a group of central Blackpool practices that took part, alongside Adelaide Street Family Practice and St Paul's Medical Centre on Dickson Road.

See the quality mark, older LGBTQ+ people and mental health support.

Getting here

A walk down from Blackpool North station through the town centre, or a short walk inland from the Tower.
