Morden sits at the southern end of the Northern Line in the London Borough of Merton, a well-connected area that draws commuters heading into central London alongside families attracted by nearby parks and green space. The Underground station is one of the busiest interchange points in this part of south London, and the surrounding streets mix residential roads with a genuine town centre. Because so many local journeys start or end at the Underground station, road traffic around Morden tends to build in short, predictable bursts around commuting times rather than staying heavy all day. The test centre in Morden serves candidates from across this corner of south-west London, and its routes typically combine residential streets close to Morden Hall Park with the busier A24 corridor running through the area. Morden Hall Park, a National Trust property right by the town centre, gives the area a genuinely green focal point that’s unusual for a location this close to the Underground network.

Practical Test Centre Address
Morden Driving Test Centre is located at 10 Tudor Drive, Morden, London, SM4 4PE. The centre provides toilets and has parking available, along with disabled access for those who need it. Driving tests offered here include car, motorcycle, and approved driving instructor (ADI) tests, making this one of the more varied local test centres for anyone training instructors as well as learners. The presence of ADI tests alongside standard practical tests means the car park and waiting area can see a wider mix of vehicles and candidates than at a typical local centre. Because ADI examiners and learner candidates share the same site, it’s worth arriving with a little extra patience if the car park feels busier than expected on a given day.
How To Get To Morden (London) Test Centre
Morden Underground station, at the southern tip of the Northern Line, is the easiest way to reach the area without a car. Drivers can use the A24, which runs directly through Morden and links the area straightforwardly with central London for those approaching by road. Local buses serve nearby boroughs reliably, and National Express coaches are an option for anyone travelling a longer distance for their test. Morden Hall Park and the Civic Centre are useful landmarks to navigate by once you’re close to the centre, and cyclists can use the Wandle Trail for a more scenic approach if that’s how you’re travelling. On foot, the local parks and green spaces make Morden a pleasant enough place to explore if you arrive with time to spare. Roadworks tied to ongoing development around the town centre have been fairly common in recent years, so it’s worth checking for diversions rather than assuming your usual route into Morden will be clear on the day. Once you’re through the Underground station’s immediate surroundings, the roads open out a little, giving a helpful contrast for practising positioning after a busy, close-quarters stretch of driving. Give yourself a little extra time if your test falls during the morning or evening commute, since traffic feeding onto the A24 near the Underground station can slow noticeably at those points in the day, more than the wider road itself would suggest. Because Morden combines Underground-adjacent residential streets with the busier A24 corridor, examiners here test candidates on confident driving in heavier traffic as well as the quieter manoeuvring needed on smaller roads near the park. LPOD Academy prepares learners from Worcester Park and Stoneleigh for tests booked at Morden, with course choices from the Platinum 50 down to the Gold 45 depending on how much preparation you need. Our guide to how intensive courses work is worth reading if you haven’t trained this way before. Bring your provisional licence on the day, and keep in mind that since 12 May 2026 DVSA has restricted test booking and management to the candidate themselves.

Can LPOD book my practical test at this centre for me? No. Since 12 May 2026, only you can book, change or manage your DVSA practical test. LPOD provides test date support instead: centre and timing guidance as standard, plus an optional Test Alerts + Booking Strategy add-on (£50) if you’d like us actively watching for earlier dates and helping you plan around them.
Which course should I choose before my test? It depends on your experience. Complete beginners usually start with a Gold or Platinum course, while learners who have already had lessons or sat a test before often suit a Silver or Bronze course. Try our course recommendation tool for a personal suggestion.
Are LPOD instructors qualified? Yes. Every LPOD instructor is a DVSA-approved ADI, paid full market rates, so you get a properly qualified instructor rather than the cheapest bidder.
