If you want simple contraception (pills, patch or ring) and live in Lambeth, Southwark, Brent, Camden, Ealing, Hackney and City, Harrow, Hammersmith and Fulham, Islington, Kensington and Chelsea, Lewisham or Westminster, you can order this for free from Sexual Health London.
Please visit the Sexual Health London website. You will be asked a few questions and then have a Lloyds Pharmacy online consultation which will be reviewed by a GP, and if suitable, the contraception will be delivered to you or sent to your local Lloyds or Sainsbury's pharmacy.
If you do not live in these boroughs or want a different type of contraception (injection), please call our helpline on 020 7188 7707.
