London Spermbank
Description
London Sperm Bank (LSB), part of the London Women’s Clinic group, is the UK’s largest sperm bank. Established to meet national demand, LSB operates under HFEA regulations (UK’s Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority) and provides donor sperm to individuals and clinics across the United Kingdom and abroad. The bank emphasizes safety, transparency, and a user-friendly donor search experience. Since 2010, LSB has proudly helped bring over 3,000 babies into the world, supplying ethically sourced and rigorously screened donor sperm to clinics and recipients both nationally and internationally. London Sperm Bank’s mission and vision are to make donor sperm widely accessible while maintaining the highest UK regulatory standards, supporting individuals and couples in their journey to parenthood through safe, reliable, and transparent services. LSB ships primarily within the UK under HFEA regulation but also exports internationally, coordinating with fertility clinics abroad to ensure compliance with local legal frameworks.
Donor types and services

London Sperm Bank provides donor sperm in IUI and ICI straws with varying motilities. Bulk packages (3 or 6 straws) are available at reduced pricing, providing cost flexibility for clients.

London Sperm Bank employs a rigorous screening program that exceeds global standards like those of the World Health Organization. Genetic screening focusing on key hereditary conditions such as Cystic Fibrosis, SMA, Alpha- and Beta-thalassemia, Sickle Cell Disease, Tay-Sachs disease and tailored further based on the donor’s ethnic background to ensure relevance and safety.
