Refer to this page.

Simple answer is you don't need covid test because UK don't require arriving passengers to have covid test done before flying in.

As you might have read that quarantine period will be reduced to 10 days from mid next week and after 5 days of arriving in UK you can have a covid test and if negative then you can come out of self isolation

I am not going to UK, i have a transit at LHR and will fly onward to Amsterdam by KLM. Netherland also doesnt require covid test so it means i don't need it. Although i had to do it when flying AMS by QR because it was an airline requirement. I guess virgin atlantic has no such requirement.
