Is the Express Test at Heathrow Terminal 2 Departures this side of security? I am travelling to the USA and I was getting a test a couple of days before going to the airport but now I have to have it the day before. So I have ordered the 3 hour test but I want it the day before I travel not the morning of in case it is cutting it too fine.

It is not very clear on their website. I would have had a drive through but they only do the 3 hour one in the terminals.

    The one at Heathrow Terminal 2 Arrivals is landside so you could use that one the day before leaving.  There are also drive through options if you are coming by car.

    Check for yourself but thought the USA was accepting lateral flow tests in which case no need to pay the extra for the 3hr PCR test but get a 30 minute test instead.
