Egg Freezing Clinics in London: An Independent Guide

If you've started looking into where to freeze your eggs in London, you've probably noticed the problem fast: every clinic's own website says it's the right choice, and none of them are going to point you to somewhere else. This guide doesn't try to rank clinics against each other. Instead, it lays out ten London clinics side by side on the things that actually differ between them: cost, what a cycle price includes, and what the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority (HFEA), the UK's fertility regulator, has published about each one, so you can build your own shortlist from facts rather than marketing copy.

Roughly three-quarters of all UK egg freezing cycles happen in London (HFEA, 2018), so the number of clinics here is genuinely large. That's an advantage: more choice, more competition on price, more specialists to see, but it also means the research burden sits with you. This guide is meant to cut that burden down, not replace it: treat every figure here as a starting point for your own call to the clinic, not a quote you can rely on.

How we chose these ten, and how we approached the rest

Three things shaped this guide.

These are the ten London clinics with the highest verified egg-freezing activity in 2023, not the ten that came up most in search results. The HFEA publishes a dataset behind its Fertility Sector 2024/25 report that records the number of egg storage cycles and patients, by name, for every licensed UK clinic in 2023 (HFEA, 2026). We used that to select and order the ten clinics below by actual volume: London Women's Clinic alone recorded 1,109 egg storage cycles in 2023, more than any other clinic in the country. A small number of well-known London clinics don't appear here as a result. One clinic, ARGC, has no usable 2023 figure at all: the HFEA's own dataset lists it as one of five centres nationally whose activity data is still being validated, so its absence reflects a data gap, not low volume, and it's worth asking about directly if you're considering it. Two others, Care Fertility London and Concept Fertility Clinic, have lower recorded 2023 volumes than the clinics below and sit just outside this list.

We didn't score or star-rate the clinics on quality. Ordering by verified activity is a factual, sourced measure, not a judgement about which clinic is "best." The HFEA itself warns against reading too much into small differences in outcome data between clinics, since a lot of that variation comes down to which patients a clinic tends to see, not how good the clinic is (HFEA, 2018). We haven't scored, and don't recommend reading a higher position on this list as a claim about quality.

Every HFEA rating below is pulled directly from the regulator, not a clinic's own marketing. Each clinic's HFEA inspection rating and patient rating comes straight from the HFEA's own clinic-search tool, along with the date of its most recent inspection, since that context matters: a 5/5 rating from 2018 and a 5/5 rating from 2023 aren't quite the same thing. Prices come from each clinic's own published pricing pages, except where noted.

We've added each clinic's Google rating for context, with a caveat attached. Unlike the HFEA figures, a Google rating isn't independently audited: it reflects whoever chose to leave a review, can be skewed by a small number of very positive or very negative experiences, and is, in principle, open to manipulation in a way regulator-published data isn't. We're showing the aggregate star rating and review count only, not quoting any review text, and it should be read as one more data point, not a replacement for the HFEA figures above it. Where a clinic's Google rating and its HFEA patient rating point in noticeably different directions, we've flagged that in the write-up, since it's usually worth reading a spread of the actual reviews yourself rather than trusting either average alone.

Patient reviews get used carefully. Beyond the aggregate Google score, we've avoided quoting or leaning on individual patient testimonials about treatment outcomes anywhere in this piece. A specific person's account of their own pregnancy or embryo count isn't something we can verify, and presenting it as representative would be misleading in a way that matters a great deal to someone making this decision. Where an HFEA patient rating is based on a very small number of responses, we've flagged that too, since a handful of ratings can swing a score a long way.

One more caveat worth stating plainly: the HFEA's "egg storage cycles" figure counts any cycle where eggs were frozen and stored, which includes elective egg freezing but can also include eggs frozen for medical reasons, such as before cancer treatment, or as part of an IVF cycle's own freeze-all strategy. It's the closest verified volume measure available by clinic, but it isn't a precise count of elective egg freezing alone.

What to actually compare, before the clinic list

A few things are worth checking for any clinic on your own shortlist, beyond the headline price.

HFEA inspection rating, and when it's from. Every UK fertility clinic is licensed and inspected by the HFEA, and its current inspection rating, patient rating, and licence status are all public via the HFEA's clinic-search tool. This is the one rating in this whole space that isn't produced by the clinic itself. Check the inspection date, not just the score: several clinics on this list were last inspected in 2018 or 2019, others as recently as 2023.

What the quoted cycle price actually includes. The published "from" price at most London clinics covers the monitoring, sedation, egg collection and vitrification, and usually the first year of storage. It essentially never includes medication, which commonly adds £1,000 to £2,500 depending on your protocol and how your body responds, or storage beyond the first year, typically £300 to £440 annually, a fee that continues for as long as you keep the eggs stored (currently up to 55 years under UK law; see our guide to how long you can store frozen eggs in the UK). Two clinics quoting £3,500 and £5,000 "from" prices are not necessarily £1,500 apart once you have an itemised quote.

Whether it's a satellite clinic or a full lab site. Several London clinics operate a Harley Street area consulting and scanning site that feeds into a lab based elsewhere. That's not a red flag on its own, but it's worth knowing whether your eggs will be processed on the site you're visiting, and worth double-checking that you have the right site: several of the groups below run more than one separately HFEA-licensed clinic under a similar name, sometimes with quite different Google ratings from one site to the next.

NHS versus private route. A small number of London units, most notably Guy's and St Thomas', see both NHS-funded and self-funded patients, which matters if you might qualify for NHS-funded fertility preservation ahead of medical treatment (see our separate NHS eligibility guide).

Ten London clinics, at a glance

Egg storage cycles, HFEA ratings and Google ratings are sourced as described above; "Price from" is each clinic's own published headline figure, before medication and beyond the first year of storage. Ratings sample sizes vary enormously, from 2 HFEA patient ratings to 701 Google reviews, so treat every average here as a starting point, not a verdict.

Ten London clinics, by verified 2023 egg-freezing activity

London Women's Clinic, Harley Street, W1G 6AP

The highest-volume clinic on this list by some margin: 1,109 egg storage cycles across 875 patients in 2023, per HFEA data, more than any other UK clinic. One of the largest and longest-running clinics in London, with a network of associated sites. HFEA inspection rating: 5/5 (last inspected September 2025, the most recent on this list). HFEA patient rating: 4.5/5, based on 24 ratings, among the higher patient scores on this list; its Google rating is slightly lower, 4.0/5 from 287 reviews. London Women's Clinic's own price tool quotes £6,100 to £7,300 for a first egg freezing cycle, at the higher end of this list, though the clinic has also published one of the larger sets of long-term UK egg freezing outcome data, including a 2024 study following patients' egg thaws over 15 years.

The Lister Fertility Clinic, Chelsea, SW1W 8RH

638 egg storage cycles across 463 patients in 2023. Part of HCA Healthcare, and one of the longer-established names in London fertility care, having performed egg freezing cycles since 2009. HFEA inspection rating: 5/5 (last inspected August 2022). HFEA patient rating: 5/5, based on 26 ratings, with a 4.5/5 score specifically on likelihood to recommend. Its Google rating sits noticeably lower, 3.4/5 from 131 reviews, and recent reviews include a data-breach complaint, so it's worth reading a spread of these directly rather than either score alone. Egg freezing cycles start from £4,130, a price that HCA states covers the pre-treatment nurse consultation, counselling, HFEA fee, monitoring, egg collection, vitrification, and the first year of storage; medication and blood tests are separate. Note this is a distinct HFEA licence from the Lister's satellite clinic at The Portland Hospital, further down this list, whose Google rating (4.3/5) is considerably higher.

CRGH (Centre for Reproductive and Genetic Health), Great Portland Street, W1

536 egg storage cycles across 364 patients in 2023. Licensed by the HFEA since 1992. HFEA inspection rating: 5/5 (last inspected November 2018). HFEA patient rating: 4/5, based on 34 ratings, the largest HFEA patient sample of any clinic on this list; its Google rating is 4.5/5 from 701 reviews, the largest review count here by some distance. CRGH publishes an egg freezing price from £3,500 (its own price list has shown £3,350 at other points in the past year, so this is worth reconfirming directly), and offers PGT-A embryo genetic testing alongside its freezing packages for patients who may want that later.

Aria Fertility, Marylebone, W1G 9YL

350 egg storage cycles across 270 patients in 2023, a striking volume for a clinic HFEA-licensed only since 2021. HFEA inspection rating: 5/5 (last inspected February 2022). HFEA patient rating: 5/5, based on 17 ratings, and its Google rating is the highest on this list, 4.6/5 from 147 reviews. Aria's published egg freezing price is £3,295, covering clinical planning, monitoring scans, egg collection, anaesthesia and vitrification; pre-treatment and monitoring blood tests and medication are separate, with the clinic itself estimating a further £600 to £2,500 for medication. Storage is billed monthly at £30, rather than an annual fee, and stops once eggs are thawed or used.

IVI London (Wimpole Street), Marylebone, W1G 9RQ

342 egg storage cycles across 255 patients in 2023. Part of the same IVI-RMA Global network as CREATE Fertility, below. HFEA-licensed since 2016. HFEA inspection rating: 5/5 (last inspected August 2022). HFEA patient rating: 4/5, based on 4 ratings, too small a sample to read much into; its Google rating, from a much larger sample of 213 reviews, is 4.3/5. IVI's published egg freezing package is £3,995, with the clinic recommending a further £1,000 to £2,000 for investigations, blood tests and medication; storage after the first year is £395 annually.

CREATE Fertility, London St Paul's (also Wimbledon)

258 egg storage cycles across 185 patients in 2023 at the St Paul's site. Part of the IVIRMA Global network. HFEA inspection rating: 5/5; HFEA patient rating: 3.5/5, based on 9 ratings. Its Google rating is 3.8/5 from 316 reviews. CREATE's Wimbledon site has its own separate HFEA listing and a considerably lower 2023 volume, 74 egg storage cycles, so the two shouldn't be treated as interchangeable. CREATE splits its pricing into a £3,195 base fee and a £1,355 support package rather than one all-in figure, bringing the realistic combined subtotal to £4,550 before medication (an earlier version of this guide cited a higher £5,185 to £5,485 estimate; £4,550 is the more accurate current combined figure, confirmed directly against the clinic's own published pricing).

Guy's and St Thomas' Assisted Conception Unit, Guy's Hospital, SE1 9RT

226 egg storage cycles across 204 patients in 2023. Established in 1991, and one of the few London units treating both NHS-funded and private patients from the same site, which matters for anyone who may be eligible for NHS-funded fertility preservation. HFEA inspection rating: 4/5, from a February 2023 inspection. HFEA patient rating: 4/5, based on 2 ratings, too small a sample to read much into. Its Google rating, 2.8/5 from 74 reviews, is the lowest on this list; it's worth bearing in mind this is an NHS and private hospital unit rather than a purpose-built private clinic, which may make its review profile less directly comparable to the others here. Private egg freezing is priced at £3,700 per cycle.

Separately, and worth stating plainly rather than glossing over: a manufacturing fault in a solution used to freeze eggs and embryos affected patients treated at this unit between September and October 2022. The HFEA's investigation into the clinic's response ran into 2024; the clinic was placed under enhanced regulatory oversight during that period, and the HFEA confirmed the Trust's independent investigation and remedial actions were accepted (HFEA, 2024). The 4/5 inspection rating above is from February 2023, before that 2024 statement, so it may not reflect any follow-up inspection carried out since. Anyone researching this clinic should check its current HFEA inspection status directly, since this is the kind of thing an inspection rating is specifically designed to reflect.

The Evewell, Harley Street, W1G 8QU (also West London)

225 egg storage cycles across 175 patients in 2023 at the Harley Street site. Licensed by the HFEA since 2018. A smaller, boutique-positioned clinic across two separately HFEA-licensed London sites; the West London site recorded 89 egg storage cycles of its own in 2023. HFEA inspection rating: 5/5 (last inspected March 2023, one of the more recent inspections here). HFEA patient rating: 4.5/5, based on 8 ratings; its Google rating is 4.1/5 from 164 reviews. One cycle, including up to five monitoring scans and the first year of storage, is £4,050; each additional year of storage is £380.

The Lister Fertility Clinic at The Portland Hospital, Great Portland Street, W1W 5PN

190 egg storage cycles across 139 patients in 2023, under its own, separate HFEA licence from the main Lister Chelsea site above, HFEA-licensed since 2022. HFEA inspection rating: 5/5 (last inspected January 2023). HFEA patient rating: 5/5, based on 124 ratings, the largest HFEA patient-rating sample on this list; its Google rating, 4.3/5 from 37 reviews, is also notably higher than the Chelsea site's 3.4/5. This location doesn't publish a separate egg freezing price list; don't assume it matches the Chelsea site's pricing without checking directly.

Harley Street Fertility Clinic, 134 Harley Street, W1G 7JY

154 egg storage cycles across 116 patients in 2023. HFEA inspection rating: 4/5, from a December 2019 inspection, the oldest on this list. HFEA patient rating: 3.5/5, based on 6 ratings; its Google rating, from a much larger sample of 256 reviews, is 4.1/5. Single-cycle egg freezing is £3,900, covering the pre-treatment consultation, monitoring scans and blood tests, egg collection, vitrification and a review consultation; a three-cycle package is available for £9,990. Annual storage is £360. (An earlier version of this guide cited a £2,800 figure sourced from a third-party clinic comparison; £3,900 is the clinic's own current published price, confirmed directly.)

A note on cost, across all ten

Even with a clear published starting price, the realistic first-year total at most London clinics lands somewhere between £4,500 and £7,500 once medication is added, before any additional storage years or a second cycle. If your clinic recommends a second cycle, which is common for women freezing in their late thirties, budget for a meaningfully higher total. Our separate guide to how much egg freezing costs in the UK breaks this down line by line if you want the fuller picture.

Questions worth asking whichever clinic you shortlist

• What is the full itemised cost, including medication, not just the headline cycle price?
• What is your current HFEA inspection rating, and when were you last inspected?
• How many egg freezing cycles did you carry out last year, and is that public via the HFEA?
• Will I see the same doctor throughout my cycle, or a rotating team?
• What happens to my eggs if I never come back to use them?
• Is your lab on this site, or elsewhere?
