Portsmouth is the closest practical centre to Cosham, around two miles north-west and posting a pass rate close to the national average. Routes typically cover the suburban streets around the north Portsmouth area plus stretches of the main roads feeding into the city, so most lesson plans focus on building confidence with busier junctions and varied residential zones in the weeks before test day.
Lee on the Solent sits roughly six miles west and runs a notably higher pass rate, making it worth considering if you're comfortable with the slightly longer journey and your instructor knows the local test routes well. Southampton (Forest Hills) is the third option at around fourteen miles north-west, posting a pass rate similar to Portsmouth, so it mainly serves as a backup when slots are tight closer to home.
Portsmouth is the nearest theory centre to Cosham, around three miles south and straightforward to reach by car or bus. Fareham is the next-closest option roughly five miles west. Chichester sits further out at around thirteen miles east and generally only makes sense if the Portsmouth and Fareham centres are fully booked.
