Arriving at Uxbridge Theory Test Centre

By public transport

Arriving at Uxbridge theory test centre by tube couldn’t be easier—just hop off at Uxbridge station and it’s a short 5-minute walk to where you’ll be taking the test! If you’re not a fan of the tube and prefer to travel by an overground train, the closest station will be West Drayton. Bear in mind, though, that from here it will take you 51 minutes to walk to the test centre.

You also have the option of taking the bus. If this is your preferred mode of transport, disembark at the Vine Street (Stop T) bus stop. From here it’s just a 1-minute stroll to the theory test centre.

The roads around this area become incredibly busy during rush hours, so make sure you plan ahead and give yourself plenty of time to get to the test centre. Showing up late to the test may result in it being cancelled without a refund.

Parking

While you can’t park outside the test centre itself, there are plenty of affordable parking options in the surrounding area. The closest place to try is the Grainges car park (UB8 1AB). It’s a 6-minute walk from the test centre and you’ll be charged a very reasonable £2.60 for 2 hours of parking. 

Pass Rates by Year

The Uxbridge theory test centre’s pass rates over the last few years aren’t exactly anything to shout about. They consistently sit below the national average and aren’t heading in a positive direction. What you must remember, though, is that these pass rates don’t really affect how well you personally will fare if you take your test here. The theory test is the same no matter where you take it! It just so happens that the people who sat it in this test centre didn’t perform as well as others across the country.
