    We used a place in Orpington a couple of weeks ago, in the Health & Wellness Centre opposite Sainsburys.

    Bluewater - though it ain't cheap - £79. Express Test - https://www.expresstest.co.uk

    Had to do one at the last minute for an event I attended in Greece on Thursday, so went Tuesday night at 5pm, had my results back at 4pm next day.

    I'm nowhere near you but I went into the local pharmacy and asked and was quite surprised when they told me they did them there! Saved a lot of hassle. So it can be worth popping into a pharmacy and asking (I accept I was probably just lucky).

    If you have a choice between PCR and LFT definitely do the latter…

    Bit pricey, I thought that prices were supposed to be coming down.? Think Grant Shapps was claiming that the price for these would be £20-30 by now, or was that another lie, broken promise?

    I got an emergency booking for USA. Cost £40 and did it close to where I work. Took about 10 minutes with the wait. They just did my nostrils and sent result to phone app in about 2 hours. You can print out result at home
