Suggestions please as to where to get a rapid Covid test to enable us to fly back to the USA from he Uk.
Prefer to get it done the day before our flight. Not at Heathrow. Maybe the Reading area?
Thank you

Usually, your hotel can tell you of nearby places to test.
Here is a link I found on the internet.

In addition, you can bring an approved, proctored home test kit with you that you do under supervision over the internet. This means that any place with reliable internet can be your testing center.

It would help if you said where you would be the day before you leave. Just Reading or somewhere else as well?

Thank you. We will be leaving Newbury in the morning and do not need to get to the Premier Inn on Bath Road till the evening.
We want to do some sightseeing on the way, so maybe, Reading, Henley on Thames, Marlow, maidenhead

Hannah, not sure if you are overseas already. If not, I would definitely purchase the BinaxNOW tests. Prior to flying back to the US from Ecuador in February, my husband and I did our test in our hotel rooms.
