How Much Does a Private GP Cost in London? Real Prices from 100 Clinics

The median is the middle price: half the clinics charge less and half charge more. It is a better guide than an average because a handful of very expensive practices would otherwise pull the figure up. The range runs from the lowest to the highest published fee, including “from” prices.

“Standard” means each clinic’s own standard appointment, and clinics do not agree on its length: some sell 15 minutes and others 20 or 30. Part of the gap between the cheapest and dearest fee is simply a longer appointment, so check the minutes on each clinic profile.

Figures as of 15 October 2026, based on 100 priced clinics (clinics with a published standard consultation fee), one price per clinic. Member-only, subscription and follow-up prices are excluded. How we verify prices.

Where a clinic is has a visible effect on what it charges. The table shows the lowest standard consultation fee in each London neighbourhood we cover, and the median where at least 3 clinics publish a price. Select an area to compare its clinics side by side.

The headline fee pays for the appointment itself: time with a GMC-registered GP, a physical examination where one is needed, and the GP’s advice. A private prescription or a referral letter is often written within that fee, though some clinics charge for letters.

These are normally charged on top:

• Medication. A private prescription is paid for at the pharmacy at the pharmacy’s own price.
• Blood tests and other laboratory work.
• Vaccinations and travel medicine.
• Medical reports, fitness-to-work notes, and insurance forms.
• Follow-up appointments, unless the clinic says otherwise.

Clinics differ on all of these, so read the fee page linked from each clinic profile before you book.

Most clinics sell at least two appointment lengths. In the directory the median standard consultation is £110 and the median extended consultation is £149.

A standard slot suits a single, well-defined concern. A longer slot gives room for several issues or a complicated history. Appointment lengths are not standardised between clinics, so compare the minutes as well as the price: each clinic profile shows the duration next to the fee.

The median video consultation in the directory is £72.50, against £110 for a standard in-person appointment. Video fees start from £30.

A video appointment cannot include a physical examination, so the GP may ask you to come in afterwards. See London private GPs offering video consultations.

Among clinics that offer same-day appointments, the median standard fee is £89 (24 clinics). Among clinics that do not, it is £120 (76 clinics).

This compares the two groups’ published standard fees. It does not capture urgent-booking surcharges, which a small number of clinics add; where one applies it is on the clinic’s own fee page. See same-day private GPs in London.

The 10 lowest standard consultation fees in the directory. A low fee is not a quality signal in either direction: check the appointment length, the CQC rating, and what is included.

The 10 highest standard consultation fees in the directory. Higher fees often reflect longer appointments, a named doctor, or a central location.

Using a private GP does not change your NHS registration, and many people use both. For a medical emergency call 999 or go to A&E; for urgent advice NHS 111 is available at any hour.

• How much more does a longer private GP appointment cost?+

  The median extended consultation in the directory is £149, against £110 for a standard one. Appointment lengths differ between clinics, so check how many minutes each fee buys.
• Is a video consultation cheaper than seeing a private GP in person?+

  Usually. The median video consultation in the directory is £72.50, against £110 for a standard in-person appointment. Video fees start from £30.
• Are private GP prices regulated?+

  No. Private clinics in the UK set their own fees, which is why prices for a similar appointment vary so widely. Clinics providing GP services in England are regulated by the Care Quality Commission for quality and safety, not for price.
• Does the consultation fee include prescriptions and tests?+

  Usually not. The consultation fee covers the appointment itself. Medication on a private prescription is paid for at the pharmacy, and blood tests, vaccinations, and medical letters are normally charged separately. Each clinic's fee page lists its extras.
• Can I see a private GP and stay registered with my NHS GP?+

  Yes. Seeing a private GP does not affect your NHS registration, and you do not need a referral to book a private GP appointment.
• Where do these prices come from?+

  Each price is taken from the clinic's own published fee schedule, and each clinic page shows when it was last checked. Member-only, subscription and follow-up prices are excluded so the figures reflect what a new one-off patient pays. The methodology page explains the process in full.
