GPs in London
Find the right provider for you
London has thousands of GP practices, and choosing the right one can feel like a lottery - especially if you're new to the area, moving across the city, or looking to switch. Practice quality, opening hours, and the kind of services on offer vary widely. This page helps you compare GP practices near you so you can pick one that fits your needs rather than just the closest postcode.
GPs in London — the landscape
London is served by five Integrated Care Boards (North Central, North West, North East, South East, and South West London), each commissioning primary care across the capital. Anyone in England can register with a GP surgery for free, and you don't need proof of address or ID to register. You can register online via the NHS App or directly with most practices. Each London GP practice has a defined catchment area - you'll typically need to live within that area to register, though some practices accept patients from a wider boundary.
