I had to go to Bristol before as Cirencester wouldn't take switch. (It might have changed by now though).
To be fair, the real problem isnt the center it is LPI doesnt take switch so the testing center has to be 
prepared to be paid by the candidate in switch and then pay on behalf of the candidate by whatever approved means.

To be an LPI testing center you just have to be a VUE or a (is it prometric?) testing center.

They're (Gloscat) going for VUE at the moment (Cheltenham site) but there's been a delay over some paperwork. 
As far as I know I'll be sent the software and setting up the center over Easter (not as exciting as it sounds) and then someone from VUE comes to inspect the place and it's immediatly ok for use if he/she says it's ok.
In practice I'm thinking end of April? I dont know of any others in Gloucester but it's been a while since I looked.

Hope it helps,
Guy
