Choosing a fertility clinic is not simply a matter of finding the highest success-rate percentage or the most advanced-looking laboratory. Age, diagnosis, ovarian reserve, sperm factors, previous treatment, embryo quality, donor availability and the clinic's patient mix all affect outcomes.
London has more licensed fertility centres than any other UK region, ranging from small consultant-led practices to large multi-site groups and NHS-linked units. Some specialise in mild stimulation, donor treatment or fertility preservation. Others offer broad reproductive medicine, genetic testing, surgery and complex male-factor care.
The six clinics below represent several different approaches to private fertility treatment in and around London. They include a central clinic with detailed published costs, a purpose-built west London centre, an established donor-treatment network, a named-consultant service, a clinic specialising in mild and natural protocols and a north London option with broad male-factor investigation.
The most suitable choice depends on diagnosis, age, treatment history, location, cost and the type of support required. HFEA licensing confirms that a clinic is authorised and inspected within the regulatory framework, but it does not guarantee pregnancy, live birth or the suitability of every treatment offered.
What distinguishes a strong fertility clinic?
A good clinic should explain why a particular treatment is being recommended, what alternatives exist and how the estimated chance of live birth relates to the patient's age, diagnosis and previous response. Headline success rates should never replace an individual consultation.
The financial discussion should cover the likely complete pathway rather than one base procedure. Medication, monitoring, ICSI, freezing, storage, frozen transfer, donor material, genetic testing and cancellation can materially change the total.
Patients should also know who makes clinical decisions, where each procedure takes place, how urgent concerns are handled outside ordinary hours and what counselling is available. Reviews can provide useful insight into communication and support, but they are not evidence that a clinic produces better clinical outcomes.
How to compare fertility-clinic success rates
Use the HFEA's clinic pages rather than relying only on promotional percentages.
The HFEA publishes measures including:
- Births per embryo transferred
- Births per egg collection
- Pregnancy rates
- Multiple-birth rates
- Reliability ranges
- Whether results are consistent with the national average
No single measure tells the whole story. A clinic treating older patients, people with complex diagnoses or those using their own eggs after several failed cycles may appear to have lower raw rates than a clinic with a younger or more selected patient population.
Small differences between clinics may not represent a meaningful performance difference. Reliability ranges are particularly important where the number of cycles is low.
Ask the consultant for an individualised estimate based on:
- Age
- AMH and antral follicle count
- Previous response to stimulation
- Semen analysis
- Diagnosis
- Use of own or donor eggs
- Planned fresh or frozen transfer
- Number and stage of embryos transferred
A pregnancy rate is not the same as a live-birth rate. Births per embryo transferred can also favour clinics transferring fewer carefully selected embryos, while births per egg collection captures more of the full treatment cycle. Both should be read with age bands, cycle numbers and reliability ranges.
Multiple-birth rates are an important safety measure. A clinic should explain its single-embryo-transfer policy and why transferring more than one embryo is or is not being considered.
How much does fertility treatment cost in London?
Headline prices such as IVF from £3,900, IUI from £1,200 or egg freezing from around £4,000 can substantially understate the final total.
Current published examples include:
- Aria Fertility: IVF treatment cycle £4,150, with average medication of £1,600 and average monitoring bloods of £270
- Aria Fertility: IUI cycle £1,300, with medication estimated separately
- The Evewell: one egg-freezing cycle £4,050 including up to five scans and one year of storage, excluding blood tests and medication
- CREATE Fertility: IVF from £3,795, with medication, tests and additional procedures potentially charged separately
- IVF London: IUI package £1,100 and initial consultation £250
- London Women's Clinic: published average total cost for a single IVF cycle of approximately £9,140 to £10,640 once expected extras are included
Possible additional costs include:
- Consultation
- AMH test and ultrasound
- Infection-screening blood tests
- Medication
- Monitoring blood tests
- Sedation
- ICSI
- Blastocyst culture
- Embryo freezing
- Annual storage
- Frozen embryo transfer
- Donor sperm
- Donor eggs
- Embryo testing
- Surgical sperm retrieval
- Counselling
- HFEA fee
- Pregnancy scan
- Cancellation charges

Published guide prices:
- IVF treatment cycle: £4,150
- Average IVF medication: £1,600
- Average monitoring bloods: £270

Aria Fertility is a practical central London option for patients who value detailed pricing and a single Marylebone treatment location.
The clinic is licensed by the HFEA and offers IVF, ICSI, IUI, egg and embryo freezing, donor treatment, surgical sperm collection and embryo testing. The HFEA profile records weekday opening from 8am to 5pm, with patients advised to contact the clinic about weekends.
Aria's pricing guide is particularly useful because it shows the treatment cycle, estimated medication and monitoring bloods separately. This still does not create one guaranteed total, but it gives patients a clearer basis for comparison than a single “IVF from” figure.
The clinic should not be selected solely because its packages appear transparent. Ask what happens if the stimulation lasts longer, medication needs increase, embryos are frozen or a fresh transfer cannot proceed.
Pros
- Central Marylebone location
- HFEA-licensed full-service clinic
- Detailed published pricing guide
- IVF, IUI, fertility preservation and donor treatment
- Weekend monitoring available according to cycle needs
Best for: Central London patients wanting a clearly itemised starting estimate and broad treatment range.
What to confirm: Request a personalised total including medication range, ICSI, freezing, storage, transfer and cancellation scenarios.
Supportive and informative care

The Evewell West London
Editorially SelectedBusiness details
Address
182 Hammersmith Road, London W6 7DJ
Phone: 020 3974 0950
Opening: Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm; Saturday, 8am to 2pm
Published egg-freezing price: £4,050 for one cycle, including up to five scans and one year of storage; medication and blood tests excluded
The Evewell West London is a purpose-built Hammersmith clinic licensed by the HFEA since 2023. It offers IVF, ICSI, IUI, fertility preservation, donor treatment, embryo testing and broader reproductive investigation.
The clinic is a good fit for west London patients who want consultations, monitoring, egg collection, embryology and transfer organised through one modern site. Its Saturday hours are also useful during treatment cycles.
The Evewell publishes a sample egg-freezing package of £4,050, including up to five scans and one year of storage. The wording is important: blood tests and medication are excluded, and annual storage after the first year is charged separately.
For IVF and more complex treatment, patients should request a personalised illustration rather than extrapolating from the egg-freezing package.
Laboratory infrastructure matters, but it should be considered alongside HFEA data, embryology practice, treatment protocols and the clinic's approach to individual care.
Pros
- HFEA-licensed west London clinic
- On-site laboratory and treatment facilities
- Saturday opening
- Broad reproductive-treatment range
- Published egg-freezing package and storage information
Best for: Hammersmith and west London patients wanting a modern clinic with weekend cycle support.
What to confirm: Ask which tests, drugs, embryology procedures and future frozen transfers are outside the initial package.
Consistent communication
“The consultants, embryologists and nurses kept us supported and informed through the treatment process.”

London Women's Clinic
Editorially SelectedHarley Street clinic: 113–115 Harley Street, London W1G 6AP
Phone: 020 7563 4309
Additional London locations: London Bridge, Bromley and other satellite services
Published examples:
- Average total single-cycle IVF cost: approximately £9,140 to £10,640
- First egg-freezing cycle base price: from £3,450
- Average total first egg-freezing cycle: approximately £6,100 to £7,300
- Additional cycles priced separately
- Medication and storage vary
London Women's Clinic is particularly relevant for donor conception and diverse family-building pathways. Its services include IVF, IUI, egg freezing, donor eggs, donor sperm, shared motherhood and surrogacy-related treatment.
The clinic has been HFEA licensed since 1992 and is linked with the London Egg Bank and London Sperm Bank. This can simplify donor treatment, although waiting times and donor availability vary by characteristics and current stock.
Its pricing pages now distinguish base fees from likely all-in totals. That is helpful because a first egg-freezing base price of £3,450 can become an average total of £6,100 to £7,300 after medication, sedation, tests and storage. The published average single-cycle IVF total is also much higher than the industry's common headline prices.
The clinic operates a number of locations and satellite arrangements. Confirm where consultations, scans, egg collection, embryology and transfer will actually occur.
Pros
- Long-established HFEA-licensed clinic
- Strong donor-egg and donor-sperm infrastructure
- Shared-motherhood and LGBTQ+ pathways
- Several London locations
- Publishes realistic average total-cost ranges
Best for: Donor treatment, same-sex couples, single patients and people wanting access to established donor-bank services.
What to confirm: Ask about donor waiting time, treatment location, legal-parenthood forms, counselling and the full cost of donor material and storage.
Fertility Plus
Editorially SelectedConsultation address: 92 Harley Street, London W1G 7HU
HFEA-listed treatment address: Fertility Plus, Devonshire Suite, First Floor, 112 Harley Street, London W1G 7JQ
Phone: 0800 022 6038
Fertility Plus is a consultant-led service associated with Dr Anil Gudi and a wider clinical team. It provides fertility investigation, IVF, IUI, egg freezing and donor pathways.
A key practical distinction is that the public consultation address and the HFEA-listed treatment site are not identical. Patients should confirm where scans, egg collection, embryo work and transfer will occur before comparing convenience with a single-site clinic.
Communication arrangements should be confirmed for the actual package, including who answers clinical questions during stimulation and outside ordinary hours.
The fee page is less easily comparable than Aria's itemised guide. Patients should request a complete written estimate including any services provided through associated licensed premises.
Fertility Plus may appeal to people who value continuity with a named consultant, particularly after previous treatment. However, claims about highly personalised protocols should be tested by asking how the proposed plan differs from the clinic's standard approach.
Pros
- Consultant-led Harley Street service
- IVF, IUI, egg freezing and donor treatment
- Suitable for patients seeking direct senior involvement
- Central location
- HFEA-listed treatment association
Best for: Patients who prioritise a named consultant and want a central London assessment.
What to confirm: Ask which licensed clinic performs every treatment stage, who provides out-of-hours advice and the complete itemised cost.
Realistic and positive guidance
“Dr Gudi remained positive but realistic and took time to explain the treatment options during a difficult journey.”

CREATE Fertility London Wimbledon
Editorially SelectedBusiness details
Address
St George's House, 3–5 Pepys Road, London SW20 8NJ
Phone: 020 3319 9490
Published starting price: Private IVF from £3,795; medication, tests and optional procedures may be additional
CREATE Fertility Wimbledon is best known for mild and natural-cycle treatment models. It has been HFEA licensed since 2008 and offers IVF, ICSI, IUI, fertility preservation, surgical sperm collection, in-vitro maturation and embryo testing.
Mild IVF uses lower doses of stimulation medication than many conventional protocols. Natural-cycle IVF aims to collect the egg produced in a largely unstimulated cycle. These approaches can reduce medication exposure, but they may also produce fewer eggs per collection.
Suitability for mild or natural treatment is individual. Fewer drugs do not automatically mean a higher chance of live birth, lower total cost or less treatment overall; more collection cycles may be needed.
CREATE publishes IVF from £3,795 but explicitly warns that private IVF base prices rarely reflect the full cost. Medication, blood tests, sedation, HFEA fees, ICSI, freezing and frozen transfer can add materially.
The clinic is inclusive of single patients and same-sex couples, but this is not unique among modern licensed fertility centres.
Pros
- HFEA-licensed Wimbledon clinic
- Mild, natural and conventional treatment pathways
- IVM and fertility-preservation services
- Useful south-west London location
- Clinic acknowledges limitations of base-price comparisons
Best for: Patients specifically interested in a clinically justified mild or natural-cycle approach.
What to confirm: Ask for expected eggs per cycle, cumulative live-birth estimate, likely number of cycles and complete cost through frozen embryo transfer.
Calm and supportive treatment
“The staff explained the process clearly and helped us feel calm during scans and egg collection.”

IVF London
Editorially SelectedBusiness details
Address
Elstree Waterfront, Elstree Road, Elstree, Borehamwood WD6 3BS
Phone: 020 8207 4115
Email: info@ivflondon.co.uk
Published examples:
- Initial consultation: £250
- Weekend consultation: £300
- Fertility wellness check with scan, AMH and consultation: £382
- Semen analysis: £150
- IUI package: £1,100
- Further treatment prices listed in the clinic's current fee schedule
Despite its name, IVF London is located at Elstree Waterfront just outside the Greater London boundary. It remains a useful option for north London, Barnet and Hertfordshire patients and is included because it materially broadens geographic coverage.
The clinic has been HFEA licensed since 2018 and offers IVF, ICSI, IUI, fertility preservation, donor treatment, male-fertility investigation, surgical sperm retrieval and embryo testing.
Its 2026 price list is among the most detailed in this guide, separating consultations, investigations, IUI and laboratory services. This helps patients model costs, although a long menu can make it difficult to identify the likely complete IVF total without a formal treatment plan.
The clinic also has a substantial male-fertility service, including semen analysis, DNA fragmentation testing and urology consultation. That can be useful where both partners need investigation rather than treatment focusing almost entirely on ovarian stimulation.
Its marketing uses claims such as “best” and “high success rates”. Those claims should not replace the independent HFEA profile and age-specific statistics.
Pros
- HFEA-licensed clinic with broad treatment range
- Detailed current price list
- Strong male-fertility testing menu
- Relevant for north London and Hertfordshire
- IVF, IUI, preservation and donor treatment
Best for: North London patients and couples wanting detailed male and female investigation at one clinic.
What to confirm: Ask for a complete written pathway from consultation through medication, collection, freezing and embryo transfer.

Comparing written quotations properly
Two fertility quotations are comparable only when they cover the same pathway. One clinic may include sedation, scans and embryo freezing in the headline fee, while another separates each item.
Ask each clinic to show:
- Consultation and diagnostic tests
- Medication estimate and upper range
- Monitoring scans and blood tests
- Egg collection and sedation
- Standard IVF or ICSI
- Blastocyst culture
- Embryo freezing
- HFEA-related charges
- First-year and later storage
- Fresh or frozen embryo transfer
- Pregnancy testing and early scan
- Donor sperm or donor eggs
- Genetic testing
- Cancellation before or after egg collection
- Cost where no eggs, embryos or transfer result
- Refund or multi-cycle programme terms
The most useful figure is the expected cost from consultation through the first completed transfer, together with likely storage and future frozen-transfer charges.
Multi-cycle and refund programmes
Some clinics or finance partners offer packages covering several cycles or a refund where treatment does not result in a baby. These can provide budgeting certainty, but eligibility and exclusions are important.
Check:
- Age and medical eligibility
- Whether medication is included
- Number of egg collections and transfers
- Use of frozen embryos before another collection
- Definition of success
- Refund percentage
- Time limit
- Withdrawal rules
- Donor-treatment exclusions
- What happens after clinical cancellation
- Whether treatment choices are restricted
A package is not automatically good value. Compare its total price with a realistic individual treatment plan and consider whether changing clinic would remain possible after an unsuccessful cycle.
Which clinic suits which fertility need?
For donor eggs or donor sperm
London Women's Clinic has the clearest integrated donor-bank proposition. Aria, The Evewell, Fertility Plus, CREATE and IVF London also offer donor pathways, but availability and waiting times should be checked directly.
For egg freezing
Aria and The Evewell publish straightforward package information. London Women's Clinic publishes both base and average total estimates, which helps expose the likely real cost.
For mild or natural IVF
CREATE is the specialist option. Ask why this protocol is appropriate and compare cumulative outcomes, not only medication dose.
For male-factor fertility
IVF London provides a broad published testing menu. Other clinics also investigate male factors, and complex cases may require urology or surgical sperm retrieval.
For central London
Aria and Fertility Plus are the most central options in this guide. London Women's Clinic also has Harley Street services.
For west London
The Evewell West London is the clearest Hammersmith option.
Fertility treatment add-ons
The HFEA uses five evidence categories for rated add-ons: green, yellow, grey, black and red. Green indicates evidence of effectiveness for the stated outcome, while yellow reflects conflicting evidence, grey insufficient evidence, black evidence of no effect and red potential safety concerns or evidence that effectiveness may be reduced.
Possible add-ons include:
- Time-lapse imaging
- Assisted hatching
- Endometrial receptivity testing
- Immunological treatments
- Embryo glue
- Preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy
- Sperm-selection techniques
- Platelet-rich plasma treatment
- Endometrial scratching
An add-on may be suggested for a specific clinical reason without being proven to improve live-birth outcomes for most patients. Ask:
- What problem is it intended to address?
- Which treatment outcome is being measured?
- What is the evidence for someone of my age and diagnosis?
- What is the current HFEA rating?
- What are the risks and uncertainties?
- What does it cost?
- Would the clinic recommend it if it were free?
- What happens if I decline?
The HFEA stated in June 2026 that most add-ons still have no proven benefit for patients and that some may be harmful. A longer invoice should not be treated as evidence of more advanced or more personalised care.
IVF, ICSI and IUI
IVF
Eggs are collected after ovarian stimulation, fertilised in a laboratory and one embryo is usually transferred after development. Remaining suitable embryos may be frozen.
ICSI
A single sperm is injected into an egg. It is commonly used for significant male-factor infertility or previous fertilisation problems. It does not automatically improve live-birth rates for every IVF patient.
IUI
Prepared sperm is placed into the uterus around ovulation. It is less invasive and cheaper than IVF, but suitability and expected success depend on age, tubal patency, sperm and diagnosis.
The clinic should explain why the proposed treatment is appropriate rather than moving immediately to the most expensive route.
Egg freezing
Egg freezing can preserve the possibility of using younger eggs later, but it does not guarantee a future baby.
The age at freezing is one of the most important factors. The number of eggs collected and surviving thaw, fertilisation, embryo development and transfer also matters.
Ask the clinic for:
- Expected mature eggs per cycle
- Estimated number of cycles
- Age-specific chance of live birth
- Storage cost
- Thaw and ICSI cost
- Frozen embryo transfer cost
- What happens if no eggs are collected
- Consent-renewal arrangements
- Storage limit and contact responsibilities
Eggs, sperm and embryos can generally be stored for treatment for up to 55 years under current UK law, provided consent is renewed every 10 years. Patients must keep the clinic informed of contact changes because failure to renew consent can mean the material can no longer lawfully remain in storage.
Changing clinic or seeking a second opinion
A second opinion can be useful after repeated failed cycles, an unexpected response, concern about add-ons or uncertainty about the proposed protocol. Ask the current clinic for copies of relevant records, including stimulation charts, embryology reports, semen results, scan findings and treatment summaries.
Moving frozen eggs, sperm or embryos requires coordination between licensed clinics and may involve transport, import or export rules and additional fees. Confirm storage status, consent and insurance before arranging a transfer.
A different opinion does not necessarily mean the first clinic acted incorrectly. Fertility medicine often involves more than one reasonable treatment approach.
Donor conception and legal information
HFEA-licensed treatment creates specific rules about legal parenthood and donor information.
People conceived from donations made after 1 April 2005 can normally request identifying information about the donor from age 18. Donors do not become legal parents when treatment takes place through a licensed clinic under the applicable legal framework.
Forms and timing matter for unmarried couples, same-sex couples and some surrogacy arrangements. Obtain clinic and independent legal advice before treatment where parenthood status is complex.
Counselling should be available for donor treatment, and some counselling is mandatory for donors.
NHS-funded fertility treatment
NHS access varies by integrated care board and personal eligibility. Criteria can include age, previous children, BMI, smoking, relationship status and previous treatment.
A private clinic may accept NHS-funded patients under local contracts, but a private consultation does not create NHS eligibility.
Check the current policy for the patient's GP area before paying privately. Beginning private treatment can affect eligibility under some local rules.
Ask whether NHS-funded care would take place at the same clinic, another provider or through a separate pathway. Waiting times, number of funded cycles and included procedures can differ from private treatment.
Regulation, consent and complaints
Before treatment, the clinic should obtain informed consent covering the proposed procedures, storage and use of eggs, sperm or embryos. Consent can have significant implications for treatment after separation, incapacity or death.
The clinic should explain its complaints process and how concerns can be escalated. The HFEA regulates licensed fertility treatment, while other professional regulators may cover individual clinicians. A disagreement about communication, fees or clinical care should first be raised with the clinic in writing where appropriate.
Keep copies of treatment plans, consent forms, invoices, medication schedules and embryology reports. These records are valuable if treatment continues elsewhere or a second opinion is sought.
Questions to ask at the first consultation
- What diagnosis is being treated?
- Why is this protocol recommended?
- What is my estimated live-birth chance per egg collection?
- What is the cumulative chance using fresh and frozen embryos?
- Who will make treatment decisions?
- Is there a named nurse or coordinator?
- What happens outside normal hours?
- Where is each procedure performed?
- Which items are excluded from the quote?
- What happens if the cycle is cancelled?
- How are unused medications handled?
- Which add-ons are recommended and why?
- How many embryos does the clinic usually transfer?
- What counselling is available?
- What storage fees apply?
- Who manages early pregnancy and complications?
Risks and safety
Fertility treatment can involve:
- Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome
- Bleeding or infection after egg collection
- Medication side effects
- Cycle cancellation
- Ectopic pregnancy
- Multiple pregnancy
- Miscarriage
- Failure to collect eggs
- Fertilisation failure
- No suitable embryo for transfer
- Emotional distress
Single-embryo transfer reduces the risk of multiple pregnancy in appropriate patients. Multiple birth is an important safety outcome, not simply a success-rate statistic.
Contact the clinic urgently for severe abdominal pain, rapid swelling, breathing difficulty, faintness, heavy bleeding or reduced urination during or after stimulation. Use emergency medical services where symptoms are severe or the clinic cannot be reached.
Counselling and emotional support
Licensed clinics must offer access to counselling. Ask whether sessions are included, provided on site, available remotely or charged separately.
Counselling is not an indication that someone is unsuitable for treatment. It can help with:
- Failed cycles
- Pregnancy loss
- Donor conception
- Decision-making
- Relationship strain
- Ending treatment
- Fertility preservation
- Telling future children about donor conception
Peer support can also be helpful, but online groups should not replace clinical advice.
Ask whether counselling is independent from the clinical decision-makers, whether donor-conception implications counselling is included and how many sessions are available after an unsuccessful cycle.
Common mistakes to avoid
Comparing only headline IVF prices
Request the full expected cost through transfer and storage.
Treating pregnancy rate as live-birth rate
Use the HFEA's measures and reliability ranges.
Choosing every available add-on
Ask for evidence specific to the patient.
Assuming more medication means better treatment
The right dose depends on response and safety.
Delaying urgent investigation
Age can materially affect fertility. Seek medical advice rather than relying on supplements or repeated home tests where there is concern.
Ignoring male factors
Both partners should be assessed where relevant.
Purchasing a multi-cycle package without reading terms
Check eligibility, refund rules, time limits and what happens after withdrawal or clinical cancellation.
Frequently asked questions
Is the clinic with the highest success rate always best?
No. Patient age and case mix affect rates, and small differences may not be significant.
Does IVF guarantee pregnancy?
No. Some cycles produce no eggs, no embryos or no pregnancy.
Is ICSI better than standard IVF?
It is useful for specific sperm or fertilisation problems but not automatically better for everyone.
Are fertility add-ons regulated?
Clinics must provide information, and the HFEA publishes evidence ratings. Availability does not mean effectiveness is proven.
Can single women and same-sex couples access treatment?
Yes. Licensed London clinics provide donor insemination, IVF and shared-motherhood pathways, subject to assessment and consent requirements.
How long should I try naturally before seeking help?
General guidance often suggests seeking assessment after one year for people under 35 and earlier where the woman is 35 or older or there are known risk factors. Individual medical advice may differ.
Choosing with confidence
The most suitable fertility clinic is the one that offers an appropriate treatment plan, realistic success information, safe laboratory practice and a complete financial estimate.
Aria is particularly useful for itemised central London pricing, The Evewell for a purpose-built west London service, London Women's Clinic for donor and LGBTQ+ pathways, Fertility Plus for consultant continuity, CREATE for mild and natural protocols and IVF London for detailed investigation near north London.
Compare more than one clinic before committing to a costly cycle. Use HFEA data, ask about cumulative live-birth prospects and assess every optional add-on as a separate evidence, safety and value decision.
