    Yes, but you need to book in advance, as there is big demand at the moment. I think you can book an appointment up to 3 weeks in advance. Same day passport renewal in UK is about the same cost (slightly less I believe) than the 4-6 week renewal from HKG. Obviously there's the cost of the flight to add, but if you're going to UK anyway, this is a good option.

    The major problem with passport renewal now is having to submit your old passport with your application, effectively preventing you from travelling while the renewal process is underway
