Test centre address: Off Buckner Croke Way, New Greenham Park, Newbury, Berkshire RG19 6HX
Greenham is the driving test centre for Newbury and the towns around it. It's on New Greenham Park, the old airfield a couple of miles south east of Newbury, and it took over when the Hambridge Lane centre in Newbury closed.
It's one of the smaller centres, with 3,931 car tests taken there in a year, and one of the better ones to pass at: 56.5%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
Learners come from Newbury, Thatcham, Hungerford, Kintbury, Burghclere and Tadley. Basingstoke is about 11 miles away and Reading about 14.
How long is the wait at Greenham driving test centre?
If you book at Greenham on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 24+ weeks away. That's about the same as most test centres.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days. The test itself may still be a few weeks away, but it's earlier than the date you'd get booking on your own.
