A New Frontier in Longevity Opens in the Harley Street Medical District
The science of ageing has entered an exciting new era, improving our understanding and approach to longevity. As a result of breakthroughs in scientific research and medicine, ageing is no longer seen as an inevitable decline but as a process that can be modified. Advancements in molecular biology, epigenetics, and innovative therapies are opening up new opportunities for extending both lifespan and healthspan.
The London Longevity Clinic, newly established on Upper Wimpole Street in Harley Street’s prestigious medical district, is at the forefront of this revolution. The luxury clinic, which is in part run on a membership basis, combines cutting-edge diagnostics, such as genetic testing and advanced imaging, with access to top medical experts offering personalised care to optimise fitness and health, combat ageing, and enhance vitality.
Dr. Edouard Debonneuil, the clinic’s Chief Operating Officer, is a globally recognised leader in longevity medicine. With a PhD in cardiopulmonary ageing and health economics, Dr. Debonneuil has made impressive contributions to the field, including research on autophagy and the longevity benefits of compounds like spermidine.
“Groundbreaking studies show that biological age can be influenced by diet, lifestyle, and emerging therapies,” he explains. “We now have tools to slow or even reverse ageing processes, significantly extending the years of life lived in good health.”
The clinic provides a comprehensive initial health assessment and memberships designed to meet individual needs. These include the Longevity Medical Membership within the plush environs of the clinic offering proactive early diagnosis and interventions and regular doctor consultations; the premium Your Royal Highness Membership, which features advanced health and prevention technologies such as MSK assessments, metabolic health screening, and cryosurgery, along with access to breakthrough treatments like rapamycin to promote cellular recycling, reduce cancer risk, and enhance longevity.
Other options include the Elite Sports Performance package to improve strength, mobility, and endurance, the Vitality Membership which is focused on holistic well-being and sexual optimisation, and the Aesthetics Membership for hair, face, and body care.
Founder and CEO Lily Li, a pioneer in integrating science and wellness, explains the clinic’s mission. She says: “We empower individuals to take control of their ageing process through cutting-edge science, holistic care, and personalised strategies. Healthy ageing isn’t just about living longer; it’s about thriving physically, mentally, and emotionally, at every stage of life.”
