Waltham Cross Test Centres and Pass Rates
The gender split shows men outperforming women by 2-4 percentage points at most of Waltham Cross's eleven centres, which handled 96,633 tests between 2024 and 2025. These North London locations deal with the challenging A10 corridor, busy shopping areas around Wood Green, and the complex junction systems near the M25. Enfield Innova Business Park leads with 54.1% pass rate, while Chingford struggles at 36.5%.
