Canary Wharf Test Centres and Pass Rates

Canary Wharf learners all test at Hither Green, where 2,756 tests produced a 53.1% pass rate between 2024 and 2025, comfortably above the national average. The routes involve South East London driving through New Cross and Lewisham, with plenty of residential streets but also busy stretches of the A20 and South Circular to master. Men achieved 56.3% compared to women at 49.2%, while automatic drivers managed 51.8%, suggesting the local road layout doesn't particularly favour either transmission type.
