I did a little research as I'm hoping to travel on 28/12. I couldn't find anyone who would let you cancel. So I've booked a Zoom one (from Collinson). If I don't travel it's only £30 odd down the drain. The alternative would be a non-bookable walk up at LHR, but a) I would have to arrive super early to ensure I have it before check in and b) I really don't want to find out at LHR that I've got the thing and have to turn round. As it seems that most people have either no symptons or very mild ones, there's really no way to know which way the test will go. I'd rather find out sooner.
