About the Barking (Tanner Street) test centre
The Barking (Tanner Street) Driving Test Centre is located at 84 Tanner Street Barking And Dagenham Greater London IG11 8QF. It serves learners across the Barking area and is one of the DVSA locations where you can sit your practical test.
The test routes around the centre cover a mix of residential streets, dual carriageways, and roundabouts, so it pays to spend a few hours practising in the area before your appointment. Examiners look for safe, confident driving, smooth observation, and good independence on the road.
Aim to arrive 10-15 minutes before your appointment. Late arrival usually means you'll forfeit the test and the fee. Parking is available on-site, and the waiting room has space to settle in before your appointment.
