Antigen test in London (not home-kit) to travel to Italy



I'll fly to Italy next Saturday. New rules will come into effect on that day but being Italy I assume they'll be announced on Friday at 23:59 so I can only plan based on the current rules.
So I need to do an antigen lateral flow test within 48 hours before arrival.
I guess home kits are not accepted otherwise people would just cheat.
Any suggestions for places in Central London that do lateral flow antigen tests and are not too expensive?
Friends recommended Randox, but they have no slots available for next week and also they seem to do just PCR.
Thanks all!

There are several selling "return to the UK" antigen tests which are done remotely via video chat or photos etc and result in you getting a certificate and are going to be much cheaper than a central London clinic.
The London clinics with in person tests (talking real clinics not covid popups) are all £100+0 -
Have you looked at what is available at the airport, before you fly. My son has used these a couple of times (he is studying in Germany) and both times received a very quick result.1
