70 Euros sounds like a lot of money. But if you can make an appointment and be in and out it may pay versus a walk-in clinic where you could wait a long time and still have to pay something.

The UK is still in the EU, (for a little while longer) so your insurance card should be all you need to show and all services paid for.

Check out IAMAT (International Association for Medical Assistance to Travellers) https://www.iamat.org
They list English speaking doctors who have volunteered to charge only the local rate for medical services. We've belonged to IAMAT for years via a small contribution. Until this year they have provided a booklet listing all the doctors in many world-wide countries, alsong with health alerts and other information. We just take the pages for the countries we would visit. They now have everything only online.
