Learn More About Medication Abortion
Want to understand your options before booking? Our blog covers everything from how the abortion pill works to what to expect after treatment.
Located near Chancery Lane, our private London abortion clinic offers same-day consultations and safe medical termination of pregnancy (abortion pill) for women under 10 weeks. Choose an in-person Friday appointment or a virtual consultation with next-day pill delivery - led by CQC gynaecologists using MHRA- medication.
Whether you’re visiting our Central London clinic or booking a virtual consultation from home, every patient begins with a private consultation. If you're under 10 weeks pregnant, you can choose
a same-day video call with discreet pill delivery (£399), or an in-clinic appointment every Friday (£499) which includes an ultrasound, medication, and full aftercare.
You’ll speak directly with Dr. Aka (GMC #4275695), a CQC-registered gynaecologist with 25+ years of experience in medication abortion care. He’ll review your health history, screen for ectopic risk, confirm gestation, and explain your treatment options - including what’s safe, legal, and appropriate based on your medical background.
In-person: If you're visiting our clinic, you’ll receive your medication during the appointment.
Virtual: If you're opting for pills by post, you'll receive a Royal Mail tracking number the same day, with next-day discreet delivery of MHRA-approved abortion pills.
You’ll get a clear, step-by-step email guide (with visuals) explaining how to take your medication safely at home. You’ll also have 24/7 direct phone access to Dr. Aka for any medical concerns, reassurance, or questions during the process.
Three weeks after treatment, you’ll take a low-sensitivity pregnancy test included in your care package.
Unlike over-the-counter tests like Clearblue, which can give false positives due to lingering hormones, our test checks that your hCG levels have fully dropped - a reliable way to confirm the abortion was successful.
Dr. Aka will follow up at 24 hours, 7 days, and 3 weeks - and you’ll have direct access throughout for peace of mind.
Yes - we offer same-day consultations at our London clinic every Friday. If you need care sooner, you can choose a virtual consultation any day of the week and receive abortion pills by post with next-day delivery.
The flat fee includes your in-person consultation, ultrasound scan, MHRA-approved abortion pills, follow-up check-ins, and 24/7 aftercare. Everything is handled by a CQC-registered gynaecologist.
NHS-funded clinics like BPAS or MSI often have 1–3 week wait times and limited weekday hours. At Top at Home, you can get a same-day consultation Monday to Friday (8:00am–9:00pm) and on weekends (8:00am–8:00pm). You’ll speak directly with a gynaecologist who specialises in medication abortion — not a GP or nurse like you may encounter in NHS clinics. Our doctors focus exclusively on abortion care, so you get faster, more expert support without needing a GP referral. Many women choose us for quicker access, privacy, and to avoid long travel times across London.
Yes - the abortion pill is a safe and effective way to terminate an early pregnancy at home when prescribed by a qualified clinician. In 2022, 86% of abortions in England and Wales were medically induced, and 61% of all abortions involved both pills being taken at home, reflecting growing clinical and public confidence in this method.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG) supports the use of abortion pills at home up to 10 weeks’ gestation, provided you are properly screened for ectopic pregnancy and other health considerations during your consultation.
There is no evidence that the abortion pill affects future fertility. You can learn more in our What Is the Abortion Pill? guide.

Yes, abortion is free through the NHS in England and Wales. However, NHS care wait times can range from 1 to 3 weeks depending on your location. You may be seen by a nurse or general practitioner, not a specialist.
At Top at Home, you can book directly without a referral and speak one-on-one with a CQC-registered gynaecologist who specialises in medical abortion care. We offer same-day consultations, discreet options, and faster access to treatment - either at our London clinic or delivered by post.
NHS abortion wait times vary, but in London, it can take 1 to 3 weeks to get an appointment due to high demand. While NHS guidelines aim to complete care within 14 days of first contact, delays are common. At Top at Home, we offer same-day consultations - with abortion pills provided during your clinic visit or delivered the next day if you choose virtual care.
No, you do not need a GP referral to access abortion care in London, either on the NHS or with Top at Home. You can self-refer by contacting an NHS abortion provider, a sexual health clinic, or a private clinic directly. With Top at Home, you can book online or by phone and speak to a gynaecologist without delays or extra steps.
Yes - if you live in London, Greater London, or anywhere in England or Wales, you may be eligible for pills-by-post care.

You don’t need a GP referral, and all care is led by a CQC-registered gynaecologist.
Yes - we offer in-person abortion consultations every Friday at our Chancery Lane clinic in Central London. An appointment is required - we do not accept walk-ins.
Private abortion costs vary across London depending on the provider and type of care. At Top at Home, we offer two options:
£499 for in-clinic care at our London clinic - includes your consultation with a CQC-registered gynaecologist, ultrasound scan, MHRA-approved abortion pills, step-by-step guidance, and aftercare.
£399 for a virtual consultation with pills by post - includes the same medical care and aftercare, with discreet, next-day delivery of your treatment.
The only difference is where you take the pills: at home or at our clinic.
Yes, a medication abortion can be painful. Most women experience strong cramping and bleeding, similar to or more intense than period pain. The discomfort peaks within a few hours of taking the second pill (misoprostol) and can be managed with ibuprofen, rest, and a heat pad. Side effects like nausea, chills, or fatigue are common but temporary. Bleeding may continue for 1–2 weeks. Our doctor will guide you throughout and provide direct aftercare support.

Yes - you’re welcome to speak with a doctor first. Call us at 0333 305 9004 to schedule a free pre-consultation with Dr. Aka (GMC #4275695), our CQC-registered gynaecologist.
He’ll review your situation, explain your options, confirm your eligibility, and answer any questions - all with no pressure or obligation. We know this is a personal decision, and we’re here to help you make the choice that feels right for you.
You’ll have 24/7 direct access to Dr. Aka throughout your treatment. We also include a follow-up test in your package to confirm the abortion was successful, and check in at 24 hours, 7 days, and 3 weeks post-treatment for full peace of mind.
