I'm in London, had a fever last night. Trying to book a test repeatedly since last night and refreshing refreshing, refreshing the page. But it just says the site is busy and to try again later.

Is everyone having this problem? Is there a time when test slots are released on the site? I have a toddler and a 3 week old and no garden argh!

Around 10am

SE London and nothing available for the past two weeks.

You can pay to go private but the turn around on those is 3-4 days now as well.

A nurse friend has heard on the grapevine that the best times are on the hour but especially 8am, 10am and 8pm. She got lucky just after 10am.

Thank you! Spaces in Harlesden just popped up at 10.30 but it's too far for me to walk unfortunately. Will try as you've suggested.
