Sorry to be blunt but most med applicants will have considerably higher GCSE grades than you, plus all medical school are fiercely completive to get into, so it you are only going to consider med schools that are commutable from your home, you are giving yourself little chance of success. You need to re-take English or consider moving out for uni, ideally both.
