I must remind you the basic conditions on blood giving. These are:
- You must be over 18.
- Weight 50kg or more.
- Be healthy (you shouldn't even have a cold)
- Having eaten something before giving blood.
- Not taking pills the previous two days.
- Not to have given blood the previous 3 months, or more than 3 times in the last year.
Edit: Sorry I didn't say where it was going to be, but I had no clue. When we finished classes I saw there is a bus belonging to the Red Cross parked just beside the tube station entrance.

An advice, if you drink a bottle of water (0.5L or more) before the donation, your blood will regenerate faster ;) after donate it obviously.
Well, actually, it is almost mandatory. They will not let you go until you have finished the bottle of water or the can of coke...
yeah they make sure you had a good breakfast before giving the blood and that you drank lots of water prior, and afterwards they made me drink a coke on the spot and then gave me another along with a sandwich for the road... cool!
