You can get free contraception, including emergency contraception from a GP (unless they say they don’t provide contraception services), a contraception clinic or sexual health clinic, a young person’s service or some genitourinary (GUM) clinics.
You can also get free emergency contraception from most NHS walk-in centres and minor injuries units, some hospital accident and emergency departments (phone first to check) and some pharmacies (if you are 16 or over you can buy the emergency hormonal pill from most pharmacies, they also sell condoms, diaphragms, caps and spermicides).
