EAST LONDON DRIVING ACADEMY

One of two test centres in the Redbridge area, Goodmayes primarily serves candidates from around the town of Ilford. Like the Chingford test centre above, the Goodmayes driving test centre can be found on a shopping parade—but you’ll need to keep an eye out for this one. Look out for the “Driving Test Centre Entrance” sign above the door to make sure you don’t miss it! Driving lessons in East London.

In 2017/18, Goodmayes was far and away the most popular test centre in the country, with almost 30,000 tests taken here—well ahead of their nearest rivals in Pinner, which saw only 18,000. The tens of thousands who took their test here would have taken to dual carriageways such as the A12, as well as residential estates in the Goodmayes and Seven Kings areas.

​

The Goodmayes railway station is only three minutes away from the test centre—so, if you need to travel out from a central location to meet your instructor, taking the train will be an ideal option. Driving to the test centre? The A118 is your friend. This road runs pretty straight between Tower Hamlets  and Essex, with the test centre lying close to the middle. (Speaking of this neighbouring county—did you know that PassMeFast offers driving courses in Essex, too?)
