How much does a private health check cost in London?.
A practical guide to private health check prices in London, what changes the cost, and how to choose between focused screens, Well Man, Well Woman, specialist, and executive packages.
Private health check costs in London vary widely because clinics use the phrase “health check” to describe very different levels of appointment. A focused screen with blood tests and examination can cost a few hundred pounds, while an executive medical with advanced imaging can cost several thousand.
At London Health Check, prices currently start from £180 for a Basic Health Screen. Broader annual packages such as Well Man and Well Woman are listed at £690, while executive health checks with whole-body MRI are priced higher because they include a wider set of investigations and a longer follow-up.
Why prices vary
The main cost drivers are appointment time, the number of blood markers, whether ECG or lung function testing is included, whether ultrasound or MRI is included, and how much follow-up is provided after results return.
A short screen may be the right choice if you are generally well and want a first baseline. A longer package is usually more appropriate if you want sex-specific screening, broader blood testing, imaging, or a more detailed written report.
Typical price bands
Focused screens usually sit at the lower end. These may include a consultation, examination, body composition, blood markers, urine analysis where listed, ECG in some tiers, risk calculation and a written report.
Comprehensive annual checks usually cost more because they include a longer appointment, fuller examination and broader panel. Well Man and Well Woman checks also include sex-specific markers such as PSA, testosterone, female hormone profile or CA-125 where listed.
Specialist and executive checks cost more because they may include extended cardiovascular testing, DEXA scan, ultrasound, breast imaging, whole-body MRI or separate imaging appointments.
How to choose without overpaying
The most expensive health check is not automatically the best one for every patient. The right choice depends on your age, symptoms, family history, risk factors and what you want the check to answer.
If you are starting preventative care and feel generally well, a mid-range package such as Premium, Well Man or Well Woman may provide a sensible balance. If you have a specific concern, a targeted specialist package may be better than a broad executive medical.
If you are unsure, call the clinic before booking. A good private health check should feel transparent, not like an upsell.
What should be included in the price?
Before booking, check whether the listed price includes the doctor consultation, physical examination, blood tests, urine analysis, ECG or lung function testing, imaging, written report and follow-up appointment.
You should also check whether imaging happens on the same day, whether additional tests may cost extra, and how results are delivered. A written report is important because it gives you a record of findings and a clear plan for next steps.

Final thought
A private health check is not just a list of tests. It is most useful when a doctor interprets those tests with your history, examination and risk factors in mind. Choose the package that answers your real question, not simply the package with the longest list of investigations.
