Practical test centre in Uxbridge (London)
Uxbridge in west London gives its name to this DVSA test centre, though the building itself sits just south in West Drayton, a detail that catches out a few learners searching for it by satnav for the first time. The centre serves a wide catchment stretching from Iver and Iver Heath to Harlington, Slough and Rickmansworth, and candidates from all of these areas book LPOD Academy’s intensive courses to get test-ready without months of once-a-week lessons. Our Bronze 15 and Gold 40 packages are both popular with pupils testing here, since instructors can time the final few hours of tuition to run over the exact roads the examiner is likely to use. Traffic around Uxbridge and West Drayton builds quickly near the M4 and Stockley Park during commuter hours, so learners who train on these roads before test day tend to arrive calmer and better prepared for the roundabouts on the approach to the centre. Deposits on LPOD courses run from £180 up to £900 depending on package size, always billed as a deposit against the total rather than the full fee upfront, which suits families budgeting around a fixed test date at this centre.

Test Centre Address & Facilities
The full address is Drayton Hall, Church Road, West Drayton, Uxbridge, UB7 7PS, which is worth double-checking against your satnav given the Uxbridge name attached to the centre. There is no dedicated car park on site, though public parking can be found nearby, so it is worth arriving with a little extra time to find a space and walk over. Toilets are available inside, and the building has disabled access throughout. This centre tests all three main categories: cars, motorcycles and LGVs, which makes it one of the busier sites in the area on any given day. If you are testing for a car licence, you will usually be sharing the waiting area with candidates preparing for very different vehicles, so do not be surprised if the mix of traffic in the car park looks unusual compared with a smaller, car-only centre. Because three vehicle categories share one small site, it is worth confirming your appointment time carefully, since LGV and motorcycle candidates sometimes arrive in the same window as car candidates and the waiting area can look busier than expected as a result. Nearby pay-and-display parking on Church Road and the surrounding streets fills up quickly around peak test times, so allow a few extra minutes if you are relying on street parking rather than being dropped off.
How To Get To Uxbridge (London) Test Centre
Drivers coming from the M4 should leave at Junction 4 for the M4 spur, following signs for West Drayton and then Church Road, keeping Stockley Park on your left as you approach. From the M25, Junction 15 links onto the M4 heading east, from where the same West Drayton signs apply. Anyone using the A40 can pick up the A408 south towards Uxbridge and West Drayton, watching for the turn onto Church Road as you get closer to the centre. First-time visitors driving in should treat the West Drayton signage as more reliable than a general search for an Uxbridge test centre, since some map apps still point towards Uxbridge town centre itself rather than Church Road. West Drayton railway station, served by the Elizabeth line and Great Western Railway trains from London Paddington, sits within easy walking distance and is the simplest option for candidates without a car. Uxbridge Underground station, at the end of the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines, is also usable but leaves a longer onward journey by bus or taxi to reach Church Road itself. Local bus routes connect West Drayton and Uxbridge town centre reasonably well, though it is worth checking live departure times before you leave, since services can be disrupted by roadworks around the M4 and A408. On test day, bring your provisional licence and be ready to confirm your theory test pass number, since the examiner cannot start your appointment without them. Remember too that since 12 May 2026 candidates book and manage their own DVSA practical test online rather than through an instructor. If a slot at Uxbridge is fully booked out for weeks ahead, our guide to finding a cancellation test slot explains how to bring your date forward, often by several weeks.

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.
