TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion provides various options for obtaining a COVID test in the UK within 72 hours of departure, particularly for travelers needing certification to fly. Heathrow Airport offers tests for £80 with results in one hour. Other recommendations include specific clinics and pharmacies across the UK, such as those mentioned on the London Thai Embassy's website, along with private GP services in local areas guaranteeing results within 24 hours. Costs vary, with some private clinics charging up to £250.

I read on another forum that NHS travel clinics are doing 24 hour test at £100 . You have to phone your local hospital and ask for the travel clinic. Saw a few people use the service who were going back to Cambodia

 exactly it's a saliva test and would not be accepted in many countries. PCR is the only test acceptable to most countries

Less than the rip offs some clinics charging £125 standard and £245 priority meaning hopefully guaranteeing you get test result back in 24hrs via email in your 3 days covid free days, £80 and test result back in an hour seems very reasonable.!
