London
Depends where they live and what travel/courier charges there will be on top of the testing price

Redlabs in Belgium, Biolab in London or Lillestrm Helseklinikk in Norway

I would start with culture. If that's a positive, you don't need to do the other tests. If it's a negative you can do the additional tests.
This will save your friend some money.
