Sloane Street Testing offers mandatory arrival testing for amber-list countries both in package tests of day 2/8 (required by law for arrivals into the UK from amber-listed countries) and combination package tests including Test to Release (for testing on day 5). A negative test on day 5 means that you can end your quarantine early.

Our testing centre will make this process seamless for you, offering a personalised service with access to our customer service team who can answer any questions you may have. Testing can be be offered completely as a home testing kit (including the Test to Release sample), or you can have your Test to Release sample performed at our testing centre by our trained professionals.
