Practical Test Centres Near Chessington
Tolworth is the closest practical centre to Chessington, around two miles south, and runs at a pass rate slightly above the national average. Routes typically cover residential streets around the Kingston area and short sections of busier A-roads, so most lesson plans build familiarity with those conditions in the final weeks before test day.
Isleworth sits around four miles north-west and Morden roughly the same distance south-east, both posting pass rates a few points below the national figure. Either works as a backup when Tolworth slots are limited, though most local learners stick with Tolworth as the first choice given the shorter distance and marginally stronger pass rate.
