You don't need any grounds, you just make an appointment.

"UK abortion law. To comply with the 1967 Abortion Act, two doctors must
give their consent, stating that to continue with the pregnancy would
present a risk to the physical or mental health of the woman or her
existing children. However, the 1967 Act does not extend to Northern
Ireland, where abortion is still illegal. "

You can read the act for yourself here (note the four conditions in
section 1):
