Membership always stops me climbing. It's way more expensive than any other sport :(
You can go to a wall on your own, but you will need someone to belay. That said, some places will match you with others (The Castle) and a lot will have someone who might just help out (if it's not busy, and you know them).
Yes, everywhere charges for use of equipment.
It's been a while since I climbed in London, but I've heard good stuff about the new climbing walls from the Arch people in South London.
