Yes, I agree.
I too lived In North Kensington and had an amazing GP.
So amazing that I chose to stay with them for two years after moving to Forest Hill because I just couldn't bear to leave.
Finally, I realised that I couldn't pretend to be at my old address forever,
SO like you based on reviews and recommendations decided to try and joined the Jenner Practise. Only to be told after turning up there that we were not in their catchment. Turns out only one surgery will take patients form my particular post code. Its actually not the nearest, and further to walk than the Jenner.
It also has pretty dire reviews.
Been twice...not happy especially as they don't allocate you a doctor you just see who ever is free. 1st visit I was told by the doctor (after waiting 45mins beyond my appointment time to be seen) "We don't have much time" the moment I walked into the room. Second time was surprised to discover that the doctor I was seeing knew nothing of a previous serious illness I'd had (even though I recieve ongoing medication for this) and it was obvious my notes had been looked at, and once again I felt it was a matter of getting me out of the room asap.

Quite frankly I love Forest Hill but I really wish I could afford a private GP as I have little faith in the only option we've been given.
