DVSA Practical Test Centres

Practical test centres near Great Bookham

The closest practical centre to Great Bookham is Tolworth, around six miles north, which posts a pass rate just above the national average. Routes often include suburban roads and sections of the A3 corridor, so most instructors build familiarity with faster-moving traffic alongside residential manoeuvres in the final lessons before test day.

Morden sits roughly eight miles north-east with a pass rate closer to the mid-forties, making it a reasonable backup when Tolworth slots are fully booked. Chertsey is around ten miles north-west and runs at a similar pass rate to Tolworth, so it works well for learners who want a third option or prefer routes on the western side of the region.
