DVSA Practical Test Centres

Practical test centres near Stanford-le-Hope

Tilbury is the closest practical centre to Stanford-le-Hope, around four and a half miles south-west along the A1013. Routes typically cover the Thames-side roads and the residential streets around the port area, so expect a mix of roundabouts, light industrial zones and quieter housing estates. Basildon sits roughly six miles north-east and posts a pass rate just above the national average, making it a popular second choice when Tilbury slots are scarce.

Brentwood is the third option at around nine miles north-west, running at a similar pass rate to Basildon. Routes there lean more towards suburban dual carriageways and the busier roads feeding into the M25 corridor, so it suits learners who've built confidence on faster stretches during lessons.
