38-40 min practical driving test from Cygnet Way, Willow Tree Lane, Yeading, Hayes, UB4 9BS
Most Northolt learners go weekly. A Yeading test booked before you feel ready is the common reason to move to an intensive.
OPTION 1 / MANUAL TUITION · UB5, UB6 & HA4
Manual driving lessons (UB5, UB6 & HA4)
Yeading passed 53.1% of 4,702 manual tests in 2025/26. Clutch timing on the Petts Hill approach and around White Hart Roundabout takes some work, and a manual pass lets you drive both types.
Also £38 an hour. Automatic candidates at Yeading passed 51.9% of 2,033; without a clutch, the spiral lanes at Target Roundabout and the A40 slip roads get every bit of your concentration.
Ask for a female instructor, extra patience, or one who drives the Willow Tree Lane routes every week. Every instructor teaching in Northolt is DVSA-licensed and DBS-checked.
Booked at Yeading with hours still to do? A Northolt intensive puts 6 to 12 hours a week into UB5, UB6 and HA4, finishing with mock tests from Cygnet Way.
How Learner Driver Matching Works (UB5, UB6 & HA4)
Three steps move a Northolt learner from a full UB5, UB6 or HA4 postcode to a Yeading pass.
STEP 01 / POSTCODE MATCH
Enter your UB5, UB6 & HA4 pickup postcode
Enter your full UK postcode (for example UB5 5AA), choose manual or automatic, then book a £76 two-hour starter or a 10 to 40 hour block (from £35.90/hr). We cover UB5, UB6 and HA4 - the full postcode is what matches you to the right instructor.
STEP 02 / DVSA INSTRUCTOR PAIRING
Get matched with a local UB5, UB6 & HA4 instructor
Your instructor covers your sector: Northolt Village, Islip Manor and Mandeville in UB5 4 and UB5 5; West End, the Racecourse Estate and White Hart in UB5 6; Oldfield Circus and Whitton Avenue in UB6; South Ruislip edges in HA4 9. The app logs 27 DVSA skills.
STEP 03 / TEST-DAY READINESS
Pass your theory at Uxbridge & practical test
Theory is at Union House, 2 Vine Street, Uxbridge (UB8 1QE), 5.4 miles west along A40 Western Avenue; the practical begins at Cygnet Way, Willow Tree Lane, Yeading UB4 9BS.

Northolt test routes & theory test guide
Islip Manor streets to begin, two big roundabouts in the middle, and Yeading routes at the end.
STAGE 1 · NURSERY ZONES & COCKPIT DRILL
Quiet residential starts in Northolt
Early lessons use the Islip Manor nursery streets and the quieter roads of Northolt Village: setting off, using mirrors and pulling up at the kerb away from main-road traffic.
STAGE 2 · MULTI-LANE ROUNDABOUTS & JUNCTIONS
Multi-lane roundabouts & UB junctions
Then Petts Hill lane positioning, buses at the Northolt station stops and the multi-phase signals towards South Harrow sharpen observation and timing.
STAGE 3 · DUAL CARRIAGEWAYS & SLIP ROADS
Dual carriageways & high-speed slip roads
Next, White Hart Roundabout spiral lane selection and Target Roundabout on the A40/A312 lead onto 40 mph A40 slip roads, where joining speed and gap choice matter.
STAGE 4 · MOCK TESTS & DVSA MANOEUVRES
Mock tests around Northolt Test Centre
The last stage is mock tests from Cygnet Way, Willow Tree Lane, Yeading UB4 9BS, with independent driving, the emergency stop and the set manoeuvres on the local test routes.
