Practical Test Centres Near Old Malden

The closest practical centre to Old Malden is Tolworth, around two miles south in the neighbouring suburb, where pass rates sit slightly above the national average. Routes typically cover residential streets around the Kingston borough and a mix of busier A-roads heading towards Worcester Park and Surbiton, so most instructors build familiarity with those areas in the lessons leading up to test day.

Isleworth sits around four miles north-west and Morden roughly four miles south-east, both running at pass rates a few points below the national average. Either works as a backup when Tolworth slots are scarce, though Isleworth tends to draw more South West London learners while Morden pulls from the Sutton and Merton side, so availability can shift depending on the season.
