One of the newer ancestry labs on the market, Living DNA says that their report provides over twice the detail of other ancestry tests. With headquarters located in the UK, and facilities in Europe and USA they offer their service to the worldwide market.
Living DNA is built on a brand-new, custom version of the latest Illumina chip technology, the Global Screen Array (GSA). Each of the over 650,000 markers encoded on their Orion chip is represented at least 15 times, allowing them to present your results to a high precision and accuracy.
Autosomal: your family ancestry is found by looking at over 650,000 SNPs of your autosomal DNA that is brushed over our genotyping chip. The chip allows us to read what variant you have at certain locations, and produces your results in their Living DNA raw data format. This data then goes through a unique proprietary process which is used to identify your ancestral percentage breakdown.

I also took this test and it only detailed my British ancestry by region (Cornwall. etc.). For such a highly detailed test which they claim, they could not even decide on the remaining non British ancestry which was undecided. I also believe they reported much more British ancestry than I actually have.
