Walk in dermatology clinics in London?

I can't be referred to a hospital dermatologist until I get a GP appointment but it's impossible to get an appointment at my GP and I always feel like I'm wasting their time anyway because they keep saying it's just puberty but I've had this acne for over 5 years now.
Are there any walk in clinics in London where you don't need a referral letter from your GP?
I heard that Hammersmith have a walk-in dermatology clinic, but I think this is specific to skin cancer patients only?
Private clinics are out of the question at the moment, since I'm only 17.
Any help would be appreciated!
I've been to the one at Hammersmith Hospital (in acton) but I did need a referral from the doctor and I think it's skin cancer only, I had a mole removed. Had to wait hours too as it's walk in, got there at 9, didn't get out 'til 5, procedure only took 10 minutes. Maybe try and change your doctor?
Are these free of charge?
