You don't actually need to do that. I went to a walk in testing centre in Waltham Forest before Christmas and people were turning up without appointments and being quite open about the fact they wanted to get tested before Christmas so they could spend time with vulnerable family members. The Council's leader Clare Coghill was even publicly telling people to get tested before leaving London for Christmas (this all before the Gov's last minute festive U-turn) so there were also people in the queue who'd "been told to get tested by the council".
I also (separately) was told to get tested by my GP when I didn't have symptoms.

It’s a bit strange that only 1 in 70 are testing positive who take a test.
That might be because key workers have to be taking them perhaps?
