Practical Test Centres Near Long Ditton

The closest practical centre to Long Ditton is Tolworth, just over a mile east, where the pass rate sits comfortably above the national average. Most test routes work the suburban streets around the Kingston and Surbiton areas, with a few busier sections that usually come up during lessons in the weeks before the test.

Morden is around five miles east and offers more availability when Tolworth is fully booked, though the pass rate runs a little lower. Isleworth sits roughly five miles north across the Thames and posts similar pass rates to Morden, so it tends to be the third choice when local slots are scarce.
