Over the past few weeks, the number of people taking Collinson travel tests across the UK has nearly doubled, showing there is a strong demand from Brits looking to take advantage of the easing of restrictions and get abroad after months of lockdown.
“With UK restrictions removed in their entirety after nearly 16 months, Brits are keen to take advantage of their freedoms and head abroad,” said David Evans, Joint CEO, Collinson. “But while local restrictions are being lifted, the UK still has one of the strictest travel testing regimes in the world. At Collinson, our goal has always been to make travelling as seamless as possible for passengers, and we know that’s especially important to help industry recovery right now."
The new facility will offer passengers PCR, Antigen and Antibody tests. It also offers the pre-return video test kit to pack into their suitcase for in-destination testing with a medical practitioner before returning to the UK. Customers can order their test kit and book their appointment a minimum of three full working days prior to their UK departure. Up to 72 hours before their return flight, customers complete their test via video consultation with a medical practitioner, who will verify the result and issue relevant certification via email, all in line with the current UK Government requirements for UK arrivals.
We’re always looking to provide the best experience possible for those needing to test for travel. Our new testing facility at St. Pancras International gives travellers a practical and affordable way to meet the necessary testing requirements – and all while making use of the numerous shops and dining opportunities.
The testing facility is located on The Grand Terrace (Unit 56) on the same floor as the champagne bar. Test prices start from as little as £32 for a Lateral Flow Antigen and £66 for PCR, to book visit collinsontest.com.
