About London GP Directory

An independent, free directory of every NHS GP practice in London. Built by a Londoner. Funded by no one. Accountable to readers. Not affiliated with the NHS.

What this site is

London GP Directory is a free, public-interest resource covering every NHS GP practice across the 33 London boroughs. We bring together open data from NHS Digital, the GP Patient Survey, the Care Quality Commission and the Office for National Statistics so that Londoners can find a GP that fits their needs — quickly, fairly, and with the information they would otherwise have to gather from half a dozen separate sites.

We are not a comparison site, not a lead generator, and not affiliated with the NHS, any ICB, or any GP federation. Every practice is listed equally. No practice can pay to rank higher.

Who builds it

The directory is built and maintained by Thierry, an independent developer based in London. We welcome corrections, contributions and challenge from the public, and from practice managers in particular.

Our principles

Open NHS data, openly cited. Every metric on every page links back to the NHS source dataset. If we cannot cite it, we do not publish it.

Weekly refresh for live attributes, monthly for the full rebuild. "Accepting new patients" status changes regularly; we re-fetch it weekly from NHS Digital. Performance and survey data update on the publisher's cadence.

Equal listing for every practice. Ordering is determined by transparent rules in our methodology, never by payment.

Right of reply. Any practice manager can request a correction or post a verified response. We respond within 5 working days.

Public corrections log. Every correction is logged publicly with date, page and change made.

No tracking we wouldn't be comfortable seeing on a public-sector site. Privacy-respecting analytics only. No third-party advertising trackers. No remarketing.

Not medical advice. Nothing on this site is a substitute for professional medical advice. For urgent health needs, use NHS 111, the NHS website, or in an emergency call 999.

How we make money

The site costs roughly £20/month in hosting and is built in spare time. To help cover that, we rely on two things, both kept entirely separate from the directory itself:

Reader support. A voluntary "Support" (Ko-fi) link lets readers chip in towards hosting. Entirely optional.
Affiliate links. On a few topic pages we include clearly-labelled "Sponsored" links to relevant products from retailers such as Amazon. If you buy through one, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.

Crucially, none of this touches the directory: no practice or clinic can pay to be listed, ranked higher, or hidden, and commercial links never appear inside the practice or NHS listings. Anything that affects what appears on a public-facing page is clearly disclosed on that page.

Important notice

This site is not run by the NHS. We use the NHS's open data under the Open Government Licence to help patients navigate primary care, but we are not part of NHS England, NHS Digital, or any Integrated Care Board. For official NHS information, see nhs.uk.
