HAL simply decided to flip the franchise holder from one company to another. Collinson have locations in the vicinity to Heathrow, as have many other providers.

Thanks. Nothing in the immediate vicinity to LHR that I can see on their website. I'll take a look at either Randox or Express.

it does look like Collison may have closed their site at LHR which will be a real issue for travel to places still needing PCR tests. They were super quick at under 2 hours and very friendly, but guess the economics no longer support it.

I've since looked at Express Test and they seem to have everything covered in a few of the terminals at LHR. I think I saw T2, 3 & 5 at least. There's also the drive /walk in Randox facility at the Radisson Blu Edwardian on Bath Road.

However, the list of places requiring pcr for vaccinated folk is quite low. Hopefully it will fall away entirely.
