Pass rates are the latest published DVSA figures for each centre; waits are the median booking lead time. Centres without a published figure show a dash.
Sidcup (London) currently has the highest published pass rate in London at 58.7%, while Chingford (London) is the toughest at 39.9%. A higher pass rate usually reflects quieter roads and simpler junctions rather than easier examiners — pick a centre whose roads match where you learned.
Common questions
Choosing between London centres and making sense of the numbers.
Pass rates change with every DVSA release, so the table above always shows the current ranking — the highest and lowest centres are called out beneath it. Outer-London centres tend to sit above the inner-city ones because their test routes carry less dense traffic.
Yes. You can book at any centre regardless of where you live or learned. Many London learners book slightly further out for quieter test routes — but examiners assess the same standard everywhere, so the biggest factor is how familiar you are with the local roads.
Booking waits in London are among the longest in Great Britain. The table shows the typical wait at each centre — checking a few nearby centres and being flexible on time of day is usually the fastest route to an earlier slot on the official DVSA booking service.
Not in the way it might look. Every examiner marks against the same DVSA standard; the differences mostly reflect road complexity, traffic density and the mix of candidates. Choose a centre whose roads resemble where you practise rather than chasing the highest number.
