Practical test centre in Warwick (Wedgenock House)
Warwick’s test centre operates from Wedgenock House on the northwest side of town, a short drive from the historic castle and the county’s busy road network. Learners preparing for their test here come from across south Warwickshire, including Royal Leamington Spa, Kenilworth, Bishop’s Tachbrook, Whitnash and Radford Semele. Given how close together these towns sit, many LPOD pupils in the area book our Bronze 10 course to top up existing experience, while others start further back with Silver 20 and build up from scratch. Test dates at Wedgenock House can book up several weeks ahead during busy periods, so learners keen to move faster often check our guide to getting a cancellation test slot rather than waiting out the standard queue. Local routes weave through Warwick’s older streets before opening onto faster roads near the M40, so instructors here tend to mix slow-speed manoeuvring practice with longer runs on the approach roads. Deposits for LPOD courses start from £180 and increase with package size, always charged as a deposit rather than the total fee, which helps pupils in and around Warwick plan tuition costs against a fixed test date.

Address & Facilities
DVSA Warwick Test Centre is located at Wedgenock House, Wedgenock Lane, Warwick, CV34 5AP, and this full address should be used for satnav directions rather than searching for the town centre generally. The facility offers car driving tests only, and has parking available for candidates arriving by vehicle. There are toilets on site, and the centre is equipped with disabled access throughout the building. Because this site handles car tests exclusively, unlike some of the multi-category centres nearby, the waiting area tends to be a little quieter and more predictable, which some candidates find easier to settle into before their appointment. If you are switching from another Warwickshire centre because of an earlier cancellation slot, double check your confirmation email lists Wedgenock House and not a different Warwick address, since DVSA sometimes operates more than one site under a similar name locally. Wedgenock Lane itself is a fairly narrow residential road, so it is worth taking the final approach slowly and watching for other test candidates arriving at the same time, particularly during school-run hours when the surrounding streets carry more traffic than usual.
How To Get To Warwick (Wedgenock House) Test Centre
From the M40, leave at Junction 15 and join the A429 towards Warwick, following signs for the town centre before the road narrows near Castle Hill, where Warwick Castle itself becomes a useful landmark to confirm you are on the right track. Continue past the castle towards Coventry Road, watching for the turning onto Wedgenock Lane, which winds through a residential area before reaching Wedgenock House itself. Drivers coming from Leamington Spa or Kenilworth can use the A425 or A46 respectively, both of which connect into Warwick’s town centre road network within a few minutes. Warwick railway station, on the Chiltern line from London Marylebone, is the most useful stop for candidates arriving by train, with the centre reachable from there by a short taxi ride, since it sits a little too far out for a comfortable walk with time pressure on you. For those on foot regardless, the route from the town centre passes several historic buildings, which makes for a pleasant, if occasionally distracting, walk. Parking at Wedgenock House itself is available but can fill up during busy periods, so it is worth having a backup plan for nearby street parking if needed. Your provisional licence needs to travel with you on test day, since the examiner cannot proceed without confirming it, and from 12 May 2026 onward, booking and managing a DVSA practical test has been the candidate’s own responsibility rather than something an instructor arranges. Keeping a map or a phone with offline directions handy is a sensible precaution too, given how easily the older streets around Warwick can catch out anyone relying purely on memory.

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.
