In the UK, there are laws about confidentiality and sexual health treatment for young people under aged 16.
A doctor is accessing to see if you are capable of understanding the information provided, and that providing you the service is helpful to your health.
You need to get a referral for termination. You can do this by going to your local sexual health clinic for young people. You can find out where this is - google 'Brook'. You can email them or call their free, confidential helpline.
Different areas of London have different services, but it is best to act quickly. Do be sure to ask about your right to confidential services (meaning they won't tell your parents). All sexual health treatment is free to young people - this includes contraception for after you have a termination.

you can, if two doctors say that you have a good enough reason, under the abortion act. they will try to persuade you to tell your parents, but will still do it if you decide not to let you parents know- aslong as the doctor doesnt have any moral issues with it. if they do, they can refer you to someone who can do it.

In the US, we have Planned Parenthood, where we can get abortions without parental consent, under 16, condoms, stuff like that. I'm not too sure if they have PP in London, but that website gives you some places with phone numbers and addresses included. You can call them and ask if you can get an abortion if you are under 16 and without parental consent.
Best of luck.
