From the start of October you will not be able to get a drive-in coronavirus test in Richmond Borough.

The facility at Twickenham Stadium is set to close as preparations are made to welcome fans back to the rugby stadium.

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

So where can you actually go to 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.
