How To Get To Tilbury Test Centre
To reach Tilbury, start by taking the A13 highway if you’re driving from London. Exit at Junction 31 towards the A1089 which leads directly to the town center. Along the way, you’ll pass the iconic Queen Elizabeth II Bridge. For public transport users, catch a train on the C2C line from London Fenchurch Street station, which goes directly to Tilbury Town. The journey takes about 40 minutes. Once at Tilbury Town station, it’s a short bus ride or a leisurely walk to the Tilbury Ferry Terminal where you can see the historic Port of Tilbury. Consider visiting the Tilbury Fort, an interesting landmark from the 16th century. Buses from Lakeside Shopping Centre also serve the area regularly. It’s advisable to check local traffic updates as the roads can sometimes be busy, especially during peak hours. Remember to have some change ready for parking meters if you intend to leave your car in town.

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.
