DVSA Practical Test Centres

Practical test centres near Notting Hill

Hendon is the closest practical centre to Notting Hill, around six miles north, though its pass rate sits below the national average. Routes typically work residential streets around the Brent Cross area and sections of the North Circular, so most lesson plans gradually build familiarity with those junctions and dual carriageways in the weeks before test day.

Isleworth sits around six miles south-west and posts a pass rate closer to the national average, making it a sensible alternative when Hendon slots are tight. Southall is roughly seven miles west and runs at a lower pass rate, so most local learners only book it as a third option if the other two centres are fully booked.
