As we reported earlier this week, the drive-in Covid-19 testing centre at Twickenham Stadium is closing.

The facility is set to close at the end of September as preparations are made to welcome fans back to the rugby stadium.

Residents can get tested every three days at a mobile site in Old Deer Park car park, but dates beyond September have not yet been announced.

Richmond Council leader Gareth Roberts said his administration was "working hard to try and find additional testing sites in the borough".

In the meantime, we have looked into the current ways you can get a test nearby.

One option is drive to Heathrow to get a drive-in test.

The centre is in Car Park E2 on the Easter Perimeter Road.

Another local option is in Chessington - which is in the neighbouring borough of Kingston. Here the testing centre is at Chessington World of Adventures.

Further afield Gatwick Airport and Guildford in Surrey also have drive-in test centres.

You should only book an appointment if you are displaying coronavirus symptoms.
