Looking for a Private Abortion Clinic in London? Here’s What to Know About Pills by Post

If you're searching for a private abortion clinic in London, you may not know that you can legally get abortion pills delivered to your home - without visiting a clinic, needing a GP referral, or waiting weeks for an NHS appointment.

At Top at Home, our CQC-registered gynaecologists provide safe, discreet care with same-day virtual consultations and tracked next-day delivery via Royal Mail. It’s a faster, more private alternative to in-clinic appointments - with trusted medical support every step of the way.

Here’s how abortion pills by post work in London, who it’s for, and why more women across the capital are choosing this option.

Can You Get Abortion Pills by Post in London?

Yes. If you live in London and are under 10 weeks pregnant, you're legally eligible to get abortion pills by post from a CQC-certified provider like Top at Home, without needing a referral or in-person visit.

As long as you're 16+ and based in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, you can access care from home with a virtual consultation. Whether you’re a student, working full-time, or simply want privacy, this service is designed to meet you where you are.

What’s the Difference Between NHS, Private Clinics and Top at Home?

While NHS and private abortion clinics in London are both regulated and safe, there are key differences in speed, privacy, and specialisation.

The NHS provides free care, but wait times in London can stretch from 1-3 weeks. Private clinics often charge more and may require in-person visits with a general gynaecologist or nurse.

Top at Home is different. Our CQC-registered gynaecologists only provide early medical abortion care - via pills by post. This is their daily focus, and many have over 25 years of specialised experience. We offer:

  • Same-day virtual consultations
  • Extended evening & weekend hours
  • Tracked next-day delivery
  • Unmarked, discreet packaging

Private abortion care, without compromise - designed for Londoners.

NHS Private Clinics Top at Home
Wait Time Often 1–3 weeks 3–7 days Same-day appointments
Consultation Type In-person or phone In-person Virtual (phone or video)

Delivery Option Rare Not always offered Tracked next-day delivery
Cost Free £400–£600 £399 (flat rate)

👉 See our London Service Page for in-clinic appointment options.

What’s in the Abortion Pill Care Pack?

Your delivery is tracked, discreet, and includes everything you need for a safe abortion at home.
You’ll also receive 1:1 access to our Gynaecologist throughout.

Included:

  • 1 Mifepristone tablet (200mg)
  • 6 Misoprostol tablets (4 primary, 2 extras)
  • Ibuprofen and Co-codamol
  • 1 low-sensitivity pregnancy test (for confirmation after 3 weeks)
  • Direct phone access to your assigned doctor

All medication is MHRA-approved and dispensed only after your consultation with a doctor.

How Does It Work?

Illustration showing the medical abortion process: one Misoprostol tablet, followed by four Mifepristone tablets, and a low-sensitivity pregnancy test in hand.
Step 1: Book Your Consultation

Visit topathome.com or call 0333 305 9004 to book a phone or video consultation. We’re open Monday–Friday (7am–9pm) and weekends (8am–8pm). Most patients get a same-day appointment.

Step 2: Speak to a Doctor.

During your call, a Top at Home gynaecologist will review your medical history, confirm eligibility, explain the process, and answer any questions.

Step 3: Receive Your Pack

Your care pack is dispatched via Royal Mail Tracked 24 on the same day as your consultation. You’ll get a tracking code within hours. If you're in London, you can also collect your pack in person from our central location upon request.

Step 4: Take the Medication

Day 1: Take Mifepristone by mouth.

Day 2: Place 4 Misoprostol tablets (2 on each side of your mouth between your cheek and gums). Let them dissolve for 30 minutes.

Cramping and bleeding typically start within a few hours. This is your body passing the pregnancy.

For full instructions, read our Abortion Care Guide or ask your assigned doctor.

Step 5: Confirm It Worked

Use the pregnancy test in your pack 3 weeks later to confirm the abortion is complete. It's specifically calibrated to detect remaining hCG. If you’re unsure or have questions, your assigned doctor is just a call or text away.

What If I Prefer an In-Clinic Appointment in London?

If you’d prefer in-person care, we also offer in-clinic appointments in London every Friday from 9:00am–5:00pm.

Our London clinic is located at: 1-5 Portpool Ln, London EC1N 7UU

This option is ideal if you want an ultrasound or face-to-face reassurance before taking the pills.
