Driving test cancellations in London come free every day, at every one of the 24 test centres across the city, when another learner moves or cancels their test. The trouble is catching one. Tell us which London centres you could get to and the months you can do, and we watch for an earlier date on your behalf and alert you by SMS and WhatsApp the moment one appears.
How long is the wait for a driving test in London?
Book on your own at a typical London centre and the first week with a good choice of free dates is 24+ weeks away. That is about the same as the rest of the country. 21 of the 24 centres are booked right up to the edge of the booking window, so the number you see is the furthest ahead the system lets anyone book, not a real gap in demand.
The shortest waits in London right now are at Barnet, Isleworth and Yeading. The best pass rates are at Sidcup, Enfield (Innova Business Park) and Tolworth.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. Earlier dates come free as driving test cancellations, when other learners move or cancel theirs, and we watch for them on your behalf. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days.

Which London test centre should you pick?
If you already have a test booked, you can only move it to one of the three centres nearest to where it is booked now, or back to the centre you first booked at, and a car test can only be changed twice. So the choice is mostly made for you. If you are starting fresh, pick the centres you can genuinely get to on a weekday morning, then let the dates decide: in London the difference between centres is usually a matter of which one comes free first, not which one is easiest.
Pass rates in London run from 39.9% to 58.7%, against 50% across Great Britain. Busy urban centres tend to sit at the lower end, because the roads are harder, not because the examiners are.

Questions about driving tests in London
How do I get a driving test cancellation in London?
There is no cancellation list to join. Earlier dates appear on the booking service whenever another learner moves or cancels theirs, at any of the 24 London centres. You can keep checking yourself, or tell us which centres suit you and we alert you by SMS and WhatsApp as soon as one comes free.
Which London test centre has the shortest wait?
Right now it is Barnet, at 20.8 weeks if you book on your own. Most London centres are booked to the edge of the window, so the gap between them is small and changes month to month. The table above is updated from the official figures.
Can I move my test to a different London centre?
Only to one of the three centres nearest to where your test is booked, or back to the centre you first booked at, and a car test can only be changed twice. Give at least 10 full working days' notice or you pay for the test again.
Are London test centres harder to pass at?
Pass rates across London average 49%, against 50% nationally. Busy urban routes are harder, which shows in the figures. It does not mean the examiners are stricter, and a well prepared learner passes wherever they sit the test.
Do I need a test booked before I sign up?
No. In fact you can't already have one. If you hold a test, cancel it first, then sign up with us and we look for an earlier date at the centres you chose. There is nothing to pay upfront.
