You can get an express appointment at the passport office somewhere in victoria. Think it costs about £90 or it did when I did mine about 7 years ago.

You have to ring them.

excellent name choice by the way

As lonG as you are in possession of the expired (or about to) passport, it can be renewed in a couple of hours.

Did mine a few years back at the passport office behind Victoria.

Costs a bit extra, but brilliant service.

Did mine earlier this year in Liverpool, the guarantee a 4 hour turn around (at a premium) I walk in forms completed plus my photo handed everything over paid the money and had a morning in the city. Returned bang on 4 hours later and it was ready, I suspect it was probably ready sometime earlier as the office was empty but who knows

this, make sure you get an appointment though, don't just turn up as I don't think they will even see you otherwise

However, I find Laura dirtier and cheaper.

I did mine earlier this year, also behind Victoria. Add in the cost of the train and it was an expensive day but not as expensive as cancelling the already booked holiday.
