Why London Egg Bank and London Sperm Bank Are the UK's First Choice for Donor Gametes

Choosing a donor bank is about trust as much as choice. LWC’s donor banks give you confidence, flexibility and expert support every step of the way.

We have years of experience refining every stage of the donor journey, from recruitment through to clinical use, building systems that patients and clinics alike can rely on.

Introducing our donor banks

Finding the right donor can feel overwhelming, particularly when timing matters. That is why we built our own donor banks — so that patients have faster access to carefully screened, UK-recruited donors, with support from expert clinical and emotional care teams at every stage.

Through our sister clinics, London Egg Bank and London Sperm Bank, we support individuals and couples across the UK and internationally with donor egg and donor sperm treatment that is safe, ethical and fully regulated by the HFEA.

London Egg Bank

London Egg Bank provides access to one of the UK's largest and most established donor egg programmes, designed to support patients for whom donor eggs offer the strongest chance of a successful pregnancy.

Donor eggs are carefully screened, frozen and stored, ready for use when you are. This allows treatment to move forward without the long waiting times associated with fresh egg donation. 

Recipients can view detailed donor profiles, including physical characteristics, medical history and background information. Our caring team will guide you through the selection process, helping you make an informed choice that feels right for you and your future family. 

All of London Egg Bank’s donors meet strict UK regulatory standards by the HFEA, including medical, genetic and psychological screening. Ensuring the highest levels of safety for both recipients and future children. 

Because the eggs are already stored and ready, treatment timelines are often significantly shorter. 

London Sperm Bank

London Sperm Bank is one of the UK's most established sperm banks, offering access to a large and diverse donor catalogue for individuals and couples using donor sperm.

Donor sperm is used by same-sex female couples undergoing IUI, reciprocal IVF or standard IVF, single women choosing to become parents by choice, heterosexual couples where male factor infertility means donor sperm offers a stronger chance of success, and single men and same-sex male couples using a surrogate.

Recipients can create an account and search donor profiles on the catalogue based on key characteristics, medical screening and personal preferences. We’ll support you through the process so you feel informed and confident in your decision. 

every sperm donor is rigorously screened in line with HFEA guidelines. Our donor traceability systems ensure complete compliance and oversight across every donation.

We've one of the UK's largest sperm donor catalogues, giving you the widest possible choice and the best chance of finding a donor who feels right for you.
