Lie detector in London: specialist visit or online test today

Questions about the test in London

• Where can I take a lie detector test in London?

  We have no office in London, so there are two options. You can take the VerifEye online test today on your phone, in a quiet room at home or at work. The EyeDetect test takes place during a specialist visit, in your office or a rented room in London.

• How much does a polygraph test cost in London?

  VerifEye online test: UAH 2,500 (≈ £42) for one question, UAH 4,000 (≈ £66) for three, UAH 6,000 (≈ £100) for six, with no extra charges. EyeDetect with a visit: from UAH 10,000 (≈ £166) for one question and UAH 15,000 (≈ £249) for three, plus travel from Lviv and the venue. Prices are in hryvnias; pound amounts are approximate, at the NBU rate of 15.09.2026.

• How long is the wait for a visit to London, and how does it work?

  We plan trips to the United Kingdom once several requests come in from the region, so we cannot tell you in advance how long the wait will be. A Ukrainian citizen needs a UK visa, which has to be obtained before departure, so we agree on the date well ahead. Once the date is agreed, a specialist comes from Lviv with EyeDetect equipment, and the test takes place in your office or a rented room. If you need an answer sooner, you can take the VerifEye online test today: the test takes 15–20 minutes, and the PDF report comes within 5 minutes after the test.

• How much does the specialist's travel to London cost?

  There is no direct bus from Lviv to London: FlixBus itineraries run with two or three changes, taking 44 to 60 hours by timetable, and a one-way ticket costs roughly UAH 6,500–13,800 (≈ £108–229). It is faster to take a bus to Poland and fly from there: the bus to Rzeszów airport takes 6.5–7 hours by timetable, and the Rzeszów — London Stansted flight takes 2 hours 35–40 minutes, with daily departures. The bus reaches the airport at 13:15, so catching a flight the same day is not always possible. From Kraków there are 2–4 flights to London a day, and the bus there takes 6–11 hours by timetable. A one-way trip via Rzeszów, including a bag for the equipment, costs roughly UAH 3,000–12,400 (≈ £50–206) depending on the dates, not counting the journey from the airport into the city or an overnight stay. Travel and the venue are paid separately from the test. We will give you the exact round-trip amount once the dates are known.

• Can my partner take a lie detector test for infidelity in London?

  Yes. The test checks one specific suspicion, for example infidelity over a certain period. The partner under suspicion takes it, or both partners take separate tests. The test is voluntary and requires written consent. The VerifEye online test costs from UAH 2,500 (≈ £42), and you do not need to wait for a visit.

• Can I take the test in Ukrainian in London?

  Yes. You can take the test in Ukrainian, Russian, English or German. English works if the person does not speak Ukrainian or Russian. We do not run the test in other languages. We draw up the questions together with you, and the person reads them in advance.

• Is a lie detector test legal in the United Kingdom?

  There is no separate UK law on private lie detector tests. Polygraphs are mentioned only where the state uses them: as a release licence condition under the Offender Management Act 2007 (England and Wales), in counter-terrorism measures under the 2011 Act, and in state-threats measures under the National Security Act 2023. Licence-condition tests are run by the probation service under the Polygraph Rules 2009. In all three regimes, what a person says during the session and their physiological reactions may not be used against them in criminal proceedings. A private test falls under the UK data protection rules — the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018. We test only with written consent, and minors only with written consent from their parents and with the parents present. The rules for testing employees and job candidates are stricter: the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) considers a worker's consent an unreliable basis because of the imbalance of power, and requires a data protection impact assessment before high-risk checks, so talk to a lawyer before such a test. In the UK cases we found, courts did not take private polygraph results into account: employment tribunals in Henry v Tattu Manchester (2023) and McCarthy v Sue Ryder (2022) refused to consider them, and the family court in AB v BB (2026) gave them no weight. Our result is not court evidence either.
