Gep

Does anyone know where I can get tested for Covid 19 antibodies in London?
Also any idea of the prices?
Many thanks!

I don't know, but I know someone who does!

Sorry my question wasn't clear.
I'm aware of Google. I was looking for somebody that has gone through the search and done comparisons already and hopefully had first hand experience of the test as well.
Isn't that the point of this website? For example you could "search Google" to find all the possible Health Insurances or you could just click https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/insurance/cheap-health-insurance/

why do you want to be tested ?
You are not afforded any additional freedoms or privileges for testing positive.
Also there is growing evidence that anitbodies may be short lived - read the Cochran review

A colleague of mine who have the virus back in April and was off sick for 3 weeks with it, tested negative just 2 weeks ago and that was with a venous blood sample/test - not just a cheap capillary test

A friend went somewhere near Waterloo station, sorry I don't know the name of the clinic. I think they paid £150.
Many reasons to get tested as an individual, including needing to travel and feeling safer doing so if you know you have antibodies.

Same Day Doctor W1 approx £150.
however, check which test they’re using - Roche venal antibody test is apparently the most reliable.  GP’s are able to order these now too and a lot of work places do as well.

Roche is meant to be the best and used by the NHS. Abbott isn't too bad either. 
The usual disclaimer is that nobody is sure how good the tests are or what they actually mean.

Someone I know recently had one and has done the research.

Abbott test starting from £49. It is just north of London, so may or may not be worth the journey.

I had one on the NHS when I was having a blood test anyway.
i was negative but it was 5 months after I had a winter virus.
doesn’t help much but I was more careful after getting a negative test

The NHS will likely provide it for everyone soon enough. I know some who have had it already through request.
