A dentist near the station you use every day lets you book before work, at lunch or on the way home. But the choice is very different from one station to the next. Oxford Circus has more than 100 practices within a short walk. London Bridge has 8.
The table counts the practices in our directory within 800 metres of each station in a straight line. That is about a 10-15 minute walk. “NHS practices” means practices with an NHS contract. “Taking new NHS adults” means the practice said so on nhs.uk when we last checked (August to September 2026).

- Lunchtime slots are popular. Book ahead if you need a time between 12pm and 2pm.
- Few practices open before 8am. Late evenings are more common. Each station page names the ones we found.
- Join a practice before you need treatment. A practice usually sees its own patients first when there is an emergency.
