Covid test on return from amber list country

[sandyman]

Can anyone recommend somewhere local to arrange test to take after two days back? There seems to be lots on the government website but can't see any close to SE22

You can travel to Kings Cross or Westfield SB or Stratford but you can also do it by post. Much easier. They all have mixed reviews, Randoxx seems to be the best of a bad lot. If you?re not vaccinated you probably need. Test before leavi and some companies package will sell you. Where and when are you going and what?s your vaccination status?

We've just done this and used Randox and posted it back at Southwark Cathedral. Received result by text and email the next day.

thanks - just seen this - am away now but I've gone with Randox too and it's waiting for me when i get back.

southwark cathedral does look easiest place to drop it too - so much red tape to go through and scary warnings from ryanair about getting it right ? any other tips?

Don't stress on it, just make sure you have done the pre-departures test before you return to the UK - and that you have the form filled out before you go to the airport. After that you will be fine. As long as you have the form done and confirmation email that it is submitted / accepted, you're fine.
