Practical test centre in Redhill Aerodrome
Redhill Aerodrome sits just south of the M25 in Surrey, and the DVSA test centre based here serves candidates from Felbridge and Godstone as well as Redhill itself. Because the aerodrome sits away from the busiest town centres, test routes tend to combine open, faster stretches near the M25 with tighter village roads closer to Godstone, so learners need to be comfortable switching pace quickly. An LPOD Academy course puts both types of road in front of a candidate within the same week, rather than leaving that adjustment to chance on test day itself. Every appointment here follows the same national format regardless of location: an eyesight check first, then two show-me-tell-me safety questions, general driving, an independent driving section, and possibly a manoeuvre such as a bay park or parallel park.

Practical Test Centre Address
Redhill Aerodrome, Kings Mill Lane, Redhill, Surrey, RH1 5YP. Toilets and on-site parking are both available, and the building has disabled access. Car, motorcycle and vocational tests are all held here, so lorry and van drivers share the site with car learners on test days. Candidates should bring their provisional licence and confirmation email; without both, staff will not be able to start the appointment. A standard weekday car test costs £62 through the DVSA, and evening or weekend slots, where they are available at all, are charged at a different rate, so it is worth checking your booking confirmation for the exact figure. Anyone booked onto LPOD Academy Silver 25 usually spends part of the course driving the roads immediately around Kings Mill Lane, so the aerodrome approach itself feels familiar rather than new on the day, and instructors typically build in at least one full mock test before the real appointment.
Directions to Redhill Aerodrome Test Centre Test Centre
Heading south on the M25, leave at Junction 8 and follow the A217 towards Redhill. Continue on the A217 until the roundabout near Gatton Park, then take the first exit onto Gatton Park Road; Redhill itself follows shortly after. From there, signs for the B2034 lead directly to the aerodrome, just off Kings Mill Lane. If you are travelling by train, Redhill station has regular services, and the 430 bus route runs from the station forecourt out towards the aerodrome, though it is worth checking timings in advance since services are not as frequent as in the town centre.
Drivers should note that visitor parking is signposted on-site, and the Nutfield Marsh Nature Reserve next to the aerodrome is a handy landmark if you are unsure you have found the right entrance. Test routes here draw on the A217 and the surrounding lanes, so expect a mix of roundabouts, a short dual-carriageway section, and quieter roads near Godstone where hazard awareness counts. LPOD Academy Silver 25 is built around that route mix, and our guide to applying for a provisional licence is a good starting point if you have not yet applied for yours, since a test cannot be booked at all without a valid provisional licence number on file.
On the day, get to Kings Mill Lane with time in hand, since the site is less central than a typical town test centre and traffic on the A217 can vary. Bring your provisional licence every time, and if you wear glasses or contact lenses for driving, bring them too, since the examiner will ask you to read a number plate before the test begins. Remember that since 12 May 2026 only you, the candidate, can book or amend your own DVSA practical test slot.
DVSA policy allows a candidate to bring their instructor, or another accompanying adult, into the car as a silent observer during the test itself, which some learners at Redhill Aerodrome find reassuring given how unfamiliar the site can feel on a first visit. A failed attempt means waiting at least ten working days before a new date opens up, and whichever transmission you test in determines what your licence then permits, either automatic only or both automatic and manual. Anyone bringing their own car rather than the instructor’s needs it properly insured, taxed, and displaying L plates.

Why Book With LPOD Academy?
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.
