If you require a test for international travel, you will need to obtain a test from a private clinic and not the NHS.  Testing may cost anywhere from £40 – £500 depending on where you are tested and the type of test you take. COVID-19 tests differ in the amount of time they take to get results (from 45 minutes to 48 hours).
