I'm travelling on Eurostar from London to Paris next week, going Fri and returning Mon. I know I need to show a negative test within 3 days of returning to England, so plan to have this when I arrive on Friday afternoon.

I'm not sure how the Passenger Locator Form and Day 2 Test work.
Can I order the Day 2 test now (ie before I go)?
Is the Passenger Locator Form completed as part of the Day 2 test ordering process?
If anyone knows of any reasonably priced test facilities near St Pancras I guess I could get it done when I return on Monday. Or I could order one to be done at home. 

If I do a test at home do I need to self-isolate until I get the results? (I am double vaccinated). 

Thanks for any help.

    you will need to order your day 2 test before you travel back to UK as you need the reference for your PLF

    You can certainly get it done on arrival but you need to book before you come back for your PLF. I think there is a testing place inside the station?Collinson

    *If you are returning to the UK within 3 days, you can use the result of a COVID-19 test that you take in the UKbefore you travel. You must use a private test provider for the test and not an NHS test.

    The service on which you will arrive back in the UK must set off for the UK within 3 days of when you took the test. 

    *If you are fully vaccinated you do not need to self isolate.  

    * You need to book your Day 2 test and complete and submit your Passenger Locator form before you return to the UK
