Private GP alternative to NHS in St John's Wood — fast, named-doctor care

Accessible private GP care for St John's Wood when the NHS wait is too long

Routine NHS GP appointments can often take two weeks or more. If you need faster access or more time with a doctor, Mayfield Clinic provides a clear NHS alternative private GP in St John's Wood with immediate availability and longer consultations.

We offer the full breadth of general practice: urgent advice, chronic condition reviews, travel health, contraception, blood tests and referral coordination — delivered with the continuity you expect from a named doctor.

Why choose a private GP in St John's Wood?

Choosing a private GP instead of NHS care doesn’t mean abandoning your regular NHS GP. It means having an alternative when you need one. For residents of St John's Wood, that alternative is quick access to a Mayfield Clinic GP, appointments scheduled to suit you, and longer consultation times so you can discuss complex or sensitive issues without feeling rushed.

St John's Wood has its own pace: from Abbey Road tourists to local families on the High Street. Many patients tell us they prefer a clinician who knows their history and sees them consistently — that’s what we offer. Continuity with the same named doctor improves outcomes and saves time when repeat visits or follow-up care are needed.

How Mayfield Clinic works alongside your NHS GP

You can keep your NHS GP and still use Mayfield Clinic as an NHS alternative private GP in St John's Wood. We send clear, succinct summaries back to your NHS record (with your consent) and coordinate referrals or tests as needed. If you want a second opinion or urgent attention for a new problem, we step in fast and work with your existing care plan.

Although we promote our service for St John's Wood patients, consultations for St John's Wood residents are delivered from our Hampstead practice. Book online and you will be scheduled to attend our Hampstead clinic — details at Mayfield Clinic Hampstead.
