Practical Test Centres Near Wandsworth

Wandsworth learners typically book their practical at either Mitcham or Morden, both around five miles out and both posting pass rates somewhat below the national average. Mitcham sits to the south-east and covers a mix of suburban streets and busier corridors around the A236, while Morden lies directly south with routes that work the residential zones near the Northern line terminus and a few stretches of the A24.

Croydon is the third nearest option at roughly six miles south-east, though its pass rate runs lower still so most local learners treat it as a backup when Mitcham and Morden slots are scarce. All three centres draw heavy bookings from south London, so securing a date often means checking availability across all three rather than waiting for one preferred slot to open.
