London, as the whole country, is famous for high-level treatment. There are many hospitals and medical research universities. Here's the website, where you can book an appointment with a doctor, get an insurance card and find full lists of services (hospitals, urgent care, etc.).

Healthcare in the UK varies between England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. But there is NHS (National Health Service) in the UK, which is common between these countries. In 2014, the UK healthcare system took the first place in the world in the following categories: Quality of Care (i.e. effective, safe, coordinated, patient-oriented), Access to Care, Efficiency, and Equity. The most number of people in the UK opted for public medical insurance. Moreover, most of the treatment you will ever need is available for free on the NHS.
