One of my colleagues went to the Cup Final at Wembley and required both. There was a stringent timetable that he had to stick to. He needed a PCR result (from a drop-in clinic) from within the last 48 hours and then a lateral flow from that morning. He found a local testing centre that were able to do it for him on the appropriate afternoon. I think though that as the Cup Final was a 'test event', he was able to get it done free of charge by booking through the govt website. https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test

Different venues have different requirements, but if you only need a lateral flow test (and not a PCR or both PCR and lateral flow) then you'll need to go to a test centre and give an email contact only for your test result. They should email the result in a couple of hours which you can then print off.

Fred. It seems that some of the bigger Boots Chemists at the main London train stations (though none south of the river!) are doing lateral flow tests - but at ?60!!!! that's only ?5 less than their at home PCR test at ?65. Add in your cost of going into town and suddenly the same price. Here's hoping something local and cheaper appears on the horizon soon.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
