London Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 34 nearby test centres
These 32 London centres handled 297,059 tests between 2024 and 2025, with Sidcup leading at 59.0% while Chingford proved most challenging at just 36.5%. The capital's complex road network varies dramatically between centres - Sidcup benefits from Kent's quieter suburban roads, while Chingford faces the notorious North Circular and dense residential streets. Women achieved 58.1% in Sidcup compared to men at 59.7%, and automatic learners performed particularly well there at 56.0% pass rate. Central London centres like Tottenham and Wanstead struggle with bus lanes, complex junction systems, and constant heavy traffic that tests even experienced learners.
