Where to Get Abortion Pills in London: Your 2025 Options Explained

Looking for abortion pills in London? Whether you're considering NHS care or a private provider, this guide breaks down your legal, safe, and local options - including how to get pills delivered to your door.

If you're under 10 weeks pregnant and want clarity on where and how to access medication abortion in London, this post is for you.

Is It Legal to Get Abortion Pills in London?

Yes. In England - including Greater London - it’s legal to have a medical abortion up to 9 weeks and 6 days (under 10 weeks), as long as the procedure is approved by two registered doctors and carried out by a regulated provider.

Since 2020, you can have a telemedicine abortion, which means getting abortion pills delivered to your home after a remote consultation.

What Are Abortion Pills?

Abortion pills involve two medications:

  • Mifepristone - taken first to stop the pregnancy from developing
  • Misoprostol - taken 24–48 hours later to expel the pregnancy

Together, they safely end an early pregnancy and are the most common method of abortion in the UK today.

Your Options in London

If you're trying to figure out where to access these pills, you have two main pathways:

1. NHS-Funded Services (e.g. BPAS, MSI)

  • Free of charge for UK residents
  • Must meet eligibility criteria
  • May involve 1–3 week wait times
  • Pills can be sent by post or collected in person
  • You may need to attend a clinic for an ultrasound or bloodwork

To access this route: Contact your GP, NHS 111, or self-refer via BPAS or MSI Reproductive Choices.

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

  • Available to both UK residents and visitors
  • Faster access: same-day consultations, next-day delivery
  • Flat-rate pricing at Top at Home: £399
  • Other private clinics typically range from £350 to £600, and may charge extra for medication, follow-ups, or delivery
  • Pills are delivered discreetly by tracked post
  • No GP involvement unless requested

You can book directly with a provider. One example is Top at Home, a CQC-registered digital abortion clinic specialising in medication abortion care.

Can Abortion Pills Be Delivered in London?

Yes. Many providers offer abortion pill delivery across all London boroughs, including:

  • Camden
  • Hackney
  • Islington
  • Westminster
  • Tower Hamlets
  • Croydon
  • Ealing
  • And more

If you're eligible, your pills will be shipped in unbranded, discreet packaging - often arriving within 24 hours of your consultation.

Some clinics also offer in-person pickup options if you’d prefer to collect them directly.

FAQs

Q: Can I get abortion pills if I live in a London suburb?
Yes - pills can be delivered to any London address, whether central or suburban, as long as you're under 10 weeks pregnant and medically eligible.

Q: Do I need a referral from my GP?
Not for private care. You can self-refer directly online.
