Fit to Fly

Efficient & stress-free departure testing for travellers

Travelling in the current climate can be a difficult undertaking, and our knowledgeable testing centre staff are here to help. Sloane Street Testing offer PCR testing prior to departing the UK that meets all the regulatory requirements. With a negative test result, we will issue you with a ‘Fit to Fly’ certificate that can be customised to include the information you require for your destination country.*
