Book a free COVID-19 test if you don’t have symptoms
If you don’t have symptoms of COVID-19, you can book a free rapid lateral flow test. Results are usually available in less than one hour. You can book regular tests, three or four days apart, for greater reliability.
You can get a lateral flow test if you’re aged 16 and over.

The following testing centre is open in Southwark, seven days a week from 9am to 7pm. More sites will open soon.

Who can get a test
We are currently encouraging key workers and those who can’t work from home to get a lateral flow test. This includes school staff, supermarket staff, transport workers, security guards, cleaners, construction workers and many other roles.
When to not book a test
- do not book a lateral flow test if you have COVID-19 symptoms. Instead book a free NHS test on the government website
- do not book a lateral flow test if you have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. Instead you must stay at home and self-isolate
