Useful for: Anyone who is required to show COVID Day 2 testing verification for their flight to the UK from the US (or other “non-red” countries).
Getting my ticket through British Airways automatically sent me through a confirmation process for a “Health Passenger Locator Form.” Part of this requirement is for booking a COVID test prior to arrival in London (but actually done in London). The form actually doesn’t let you proceed until 48 hours prior to your arrival in London, so this information may be helpful for those approaching that window.
There is a walk-in testing site right by Heathrow Airport. You can do that right after you land to get it out of the way. They have the DAY 2 LATERAL FLOW TEST. Here is where you can book it: https://ldn.randox.com/
You’ll get a reference number after you pay, which you’ll be required to add to a form later. As long as you sent it to a reliable email, you can reference it with no problem. As far as I know, this is all you need if you’re staying in London for fewer than 10 days.

You can take transit right there after you land. I added a bit of a buffer, but Google Maps says you can get there from Arrivals within 15 minutes. https://www.google.com/maps/dir/Heathrow+Airport,+Longford+TW6,+United+Kingdom/Radisson+Blu+Edwardian+Heathrow+Hotel+%26+Conference+Centre,+London,+140+Bath+Rd,+Harlington,+Hayes+UB3+5AW,+United+Kingdom/@51.4724018,-0.4627096,14.38z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x48767234cdc56de9:0x8fe7535543f64167!2m2!1d-0.4542955!2d51.4700223!1m5!1m1!1s0x48767248b4db8263:0x13eaaf45e2a032b0!2m2!1d-0.4410154!2d51.4814337!3e3
I hope this helps! I apologize if I’ve made any errors because this was a bit confusing. If I have, we’ll suffer together. :)
