Sexual Health Testing

If you do not have any symptoms but would like to be tested for sexually transmitted infection, the NHS now offers the opportunity to do this at home via a postal self testing kit. Please see the Sexual Health London website for details.

If you are having symptoms which you are concerned might be due to a sexually transmitted infection please make an appointment with a GP or practice nurse or attend a sexual health clinic:

There are a number of sexual health (GUM) clinics in central and north London offer testing and treatment of all sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs), including HIV tests. You do not need a referral from your GP.

The locations of the clinics are:

Mortimer Market Centre (including Margaret Pyke Centre)
Capper Street, off Tottenham Court Road
London WC1E 6JB

Archway Centre
681-689 Holloway Road, Archway
London N19 5SE

Crowndale Clinic

London NW1 1TN
