If you’re looking for same-day abortion care in London, you’re not alone. Whether you’ve just confirmed a pregnancy or are nearing the 10-week limit for abortion pills, fast, safe access to care matters.

In this post, we explain:

• Whether same-day abortion is legally and medically available in the UK
• What options exist in London (NHS vs private)
• How same-day consultations and delivery work with clinics like Top at Home
  
  

Can You Get a Same-Day Abortion in the UK?

Yes - but it depends on a few factors:

• Type of abortion (abortion pills vs surgery)
• Eligibility (you must be under 10 weeks gestation for pills by post)
• The provider’s process and availability

In the UK, medical abortion using pills is legally available up to 9 weeks and 6 days (under 10 weeks). Some providers, including digital clinics, can offer same-day consultations and even same-day or next-day dispatch of abortion pills.

‍

NHS vs Private Options in London

NHS Services (e.g. BPAS, MSI):

• Care is free
• Wait times in London are typically 1–3 weeks
• You may need a GP referral or to self-refer online
• Appointments are usually during business hours (Mon–Fri, 9–5)

If you're facing a time-sensitive decision, this timeline may not be fast enough.

Private Clinics (e.g. Top at Home):

• Same-day consultations available, 7 days a week
• Next-day delivery of abortion pills (if eligible)
• No clinic visit required for most patients
• Discreet packaging, no GP involvement

‍

With Top at Home:

• We offer extended hours (8:00am–9:00pm, 7 days a week) at no extra cost - giving you more flexibility around work, school, or caregiving schedules.
• A CQC-registered gynaecologist will speak with you directly.
• If you’re eligible, your care pack is dispatched that same day via Royal Mail Tracked 24
• Most patients receive their pills the following day

We also offer in-clinic appointments in London for patients who prefer an in-person option or need additional support.

‍

Things to Consider If You're Looking for Same-Day Care

• Are you under 10 weeks gestation? This is required for pills by post.
• Do you have access to a private space to rest and recover?
• Would you prefer to avoid NHS referral or GP involvement?
• Do you want a virtual consultation with delivery - or to visit a clinic?

If your answer is yes to most of the above, same-day private care may be right for you.
