Cancel and re-schedule with BA or United?
-Will be in London for 8 days- do I still need to do the day 8 test? Am planning to do the day 5 TTR. Which companies are reputable to buy the tests from? The UK's website that lists gives an overwhelming number of options and a wide range of prices.
For the day 5 TTR, I usually recommend an in person test. At the airport that could be Collinson or Expresstest. There may be places nearer to where you are staying. I believe in the current rules you will need to book and pay for the day 8 test, but you would not need to take it if you leave before the end of day 7. You arrive on day 0. You could send the day 8 for a refund with some companies.
