Practical Driving Test Centres in Newham
As with its neighbours to the west, there’s no test centre here in Newham. This means that your test will take place either a little to the east, at the Barking (Tanner Street) test centre, or to the north, at Wanstead. Hopefully, this is a trip you’ll only be making the once, but don’t beat yourself up if things don’t work out first time—there’s no such thing as a guaranteed pass, after all! Take comfort in our article covering what to do if you fail the practical test.
Did you know that our courses are designed to give you the best chance of passing. Lessons are scheduled just ahead of your test, keeping learning fresh.
Theory Test Centres in Newham
With no practical test centre here, you might have hoped that there was at least a theory test centre in Newham—but, unfortunately, it’s the same story here. Getting to your theory test centre shouldn’t take long, though—you can either hop on the train to Ilford, or go to the Mile End test centre by taking the DLR to Westferry. While you’re on your way, be sure to read up on our guide debunking some of the most common theory test myths!
PassMeTheory is an online theory revision session, where we go over the most difficult areas of the test. 9 out of 10 people said they felt more confident about their test after their session.
Driving Around Newham
In an area as bustling as this, it should go without saying that there are few truly quiet spots on Newham’s roads. You should, therefore, prepare for plenty of traffic here, especially on the Newham Way which cuts across the south of the borough. Meanwhile, each area of Newham has its own array of road features, though one common feature across much of the borough is a large number of roundabouts—on the approach to London City Airport, for example, or on Tollgate Road in Beckton, or parts of Forest Gate (where you may have to go through 4 in just 300 metres!)
Of course, as it’s not possible to take your test in Newham, you’ll also spend some of your intensive driving course getting experience on the roads around your chosen test centre. With your instructor by your side, you’ll soon become adept at dealing with a plethora of different roads and junctions. With their patience and comprehensive tuition, you’ll take to the driver’s seat like a duck to water.
