How much does a private GP cost in London?
Private GP fees in London vary by clinic, appointment length and what is included. These are the typical ranges across the city:
- Standard GP consultation: £150 to £250 for around 15 to 20 minutes, enough to discuss one concern, be examined and receive a diagnosis or prescription.
- Specialist consultation: £250 to £400 for more complex issues that need a detailed assessment.
- Health screenings: £500 to over £1,500, depending on the tests included.
- Minor procedures: £295 to £495, for example removal of a lump or skin lesion.
Always check what is included. Blood tests, procedures and follow-up appointments are often charged separately, so the headline consultation fee is not always the full cost.
