Friend owes me money but is avoiding me. Please help!

Lending to friends often proves to be unwise.

You should accept that this person is not your friend. Friends do not act in this manner. Also, it is highly likely you will need to accept at some stage that you will not recover this money. Save yourself the emotional turmoil, draw a line under it and move on.

I guess not friend anymore given she is ignoring all my calls, blocked me on whataps, and have not replied to any of my text messages.

I'm down 630gbp for no fault of mine. She abandon me first and halted all communications.

As post 6. It may come as a surprise to you, but you can't recover debts via social media/texts/messaging. Send her an LBA in writing, sent by recorded delivery, giving her 7/14 days to repay the debt. If no response then go via the small claims process.
However, bear in mind that winning the action is no guarantee of recovering the money, and you may need to resort to extra costs for bailiffs etc.
