"By and large, these wait times depended on practice's capacity and an overall increase in demand. In November, Labour said that around 45% of patients were being seen on the day they requested an appointment. However, analysis of data from NHS England found that across the country there were 1.77 million four-week waits for appointments with a GP in November - up almost 250,000 on July 2024"
"According to data from SpareRoom, the average London room rent rose to 995 per month by late 2025 - 37% more than five years ago. In September 2020, the average room was just 728 per month. If you have a WC postcode, these numbers go even higher - an average room there would set you back 1,339 a month. Renters in north London saw the highest year-on-year rent increases, rising by 2.1% compared to last year."
GP appointment waits increased in 2025, with some patients waiting one to two weeks and a small number waiting a month or more, depending on practice capacity and rising demand.

Average London room rent rose to 995 per month by late 2025, 37% higher than five years earlier, with WC postcode averages reaching 1,339. The average pint in London cost 6.10 versus 5.17 across the UK, and TfL reported average daily travel time of 54.8 minutes.
