Practical Test Centres Near Chingford

The Chingford test centre sits less than a mile east of the town centre and handles most local tests, though the pass rate runs below the national average. Routes usually cover the residential streets around Chingford itself, plus stretches of busier roads like the A110 and sections towards Walthamstow, so your instructor will likely spend plenty of time on those areas before test day.

Enfield is around three miles north at the Innova Business Park, with a pass rate closer to the national average, making it a solid alternative when Chingford slots are scarce. Loughton sits roughly the same distance to the east, just over the border in Essex, and posts a similar pass rate to Chingford so it works mainly as a backup when you need earlier availability.
