From my experience, doctors prefer people to be admitted informally. Usually if you're a danger to yourself, but you turn up for a psych appointment, they suggest informal admission, or if you're in A&E but are willing to be admitted.

Also, if you feel it would benefit you, and you ask to be admitted, you're admitted informally.
