London Egg Bank
Description
London Egg Bank, founded in 2012 and based in the United Kingdom, is the country’s largest frozen donor egg bank. The bank emphasizes innovation, quality, and accessibility, combining an extensive donor pool with advanced matching technologies, including AI-powered photo matching. London Egg Bank’s mission is to make family building with donor eggs more efficient and inclusive, while their vision is to use innovation and diversity to serve patients both in the UK and internationally. While London Egg Bank is headquartered in the UK, it collaborates with international clinics and can export donor eggs abroad. This global reach ensures access for patients outside the UK, though local regulations must always be observed. Customer care is primarily available in English, but the bank is accustomed to supporting international patients and works in partnership with clinics abroad to provide culturally sensitive care.
Donor types and services
London Egg Bank operates under UK law, which requires ID-Release donors. This means that children conceived with donor eggs have the legal right to access identifying information about their donor once they turn 18. Donor profiles include extended information such as physical characteristics, education, medical history, and personal statements. Adult photos are not available, but the bank provides AI-based photo matching to help recipients find donors with similar facial features. Exclusive donor arrangements are not offered. London Egg Bank offers a flexible package structure, allowing intended parents to select the option that best fits their medical and personal needs. Donor eggs are provided in frozen batches, typically available in sets of 6 or 10 eggs.

Donors at London Egg Bank undergo comprehensive screening including Genetic testing for Cystic Fibrosis, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, and Fragile X Syndrome.
