I purchased a Binax covid test, but wanted a backup plan in case it didn’t work. I have tickets to visit Highclere castle on Sunday, July 10 and fly home on July 11. The testing sites at Paddington station and Heathrow are booked for Sunday and Monday. Any suggestions for testing in Newbury or Reading? Thanks
Here is link to one company and its locator process.

There are 11 locations listed for London. I notice that none of these locations were scheduling for July 10th yet. I am confident that if you wait a few weeks or so you will be able to schedule your tests without difficulty. This is a situation where scheduling far in advance may not be in your best interest. You will pay for the appointment when you schedule. What if the test to return requirement goes away prior to your trip? You will have paid money for nothing.
For fun I checked what the scheduling looked like for this coming week at the Heathrow location. It was wide open with many appointments every day. I don't think this is something you need to schedule in May for July.
Thanks Carol, I did wonder if I was just trying to schedule too soon. Just like having my ducks in row.
