Practical Test Centres Near Kensal Green

Hendon is the closest practical centre to Kensal Green, around three miles north-east and typically the first choice for local learners. Pass rates sit in the low forties, common across north-west London centres, so test routes here can feel demanding with busy junctions and faster A-road sections mixed in alongside quieter residential streets. Most instructors spend the final lessons working the roads between Kensal Green and Hendon to build familiarity with the area.

Mill Hill sits roughly four miles north-east with a similar pass rate, making it a reasonable alternative when Hendon availability is tight. Southall is around four miles south-west, posting pass rates at a comparable level, and often offers shorter waiting times than the northern centres so it's worth checking all three when you're ready to book.
