We offer a free and confidential contraception and sexual health advice service. We welcome men and women of all ages including young people under 16.

Services include

• Pregnancy testing and advice

• Free condoms  
• Testing and treatment for some sexually transmitted infections
• HIV testing  
• Advice on all methods of contraception
• Emergency contraception
• Pharmacy-based or home chlamydia testing  

No need to make an appointment

All of our clinics are walk-in clinics, so no appointments are necessary. You do not need to be referred by a doctor. Nurse advice sessions are available at certain times so it is important to ring to check when a doctor is on duty. You may find one of our sexually transmitted infection leaflets helpful.

What if I need an HIV test?

Go to our  HIV advice page to find out where you can go locally for a test. If you'd rather visit a clinic outside Southwark, search NHS Choices for more options.
