From the desk of Jane Galt:PSA
I owe a really huge number of people emails. But I'm in London, and plagued by seriously horrific insomnia/jet-lag; I had something in the neighbourhood of three hours of sleep last night. You would think this would be a very good opportunity to write emails. But unfortunately, they tend to come out like "Hey, thanks for writing, I'm in London and I can't SLEEP, would you mind flying over here and hitting me in the head with a HAMMER, please?" so it's really better that I wait until I'm coherent.

Only that I can't find the equivalent on London pharmacy shelves . . .
I thought socialized medicine was supposed to be compassionate and meet the needs of people. .
Go into Boots (there's one on every high street and you can't be more than 200m from one in London) and ask at the pharmacy counter. They'll probably be able to give you something without a prescription is you ask nicely.
Otherwise, an NHS drop in clinic would be able to issue a prescription for something. Look up the nearest on the NHS website.
One of the over-the-counter brands is "Nytol".
No idea how good it is though.
