The London driving test centres where you are most likely to pass your driving test have been revealed. Between April 2023 and March 2024, 57 per cent of drivers were awarded a pass after taking their test in Sidcup.

Some 12,953 tests were conducted at the test centre during this period, with 7,437 resulting in a pass. But it appears not all test centres in South East London offer the same fortune to learners.

Nearby Belvedere is the officially the hardest area to pass in, according to analysis of government data from Law Trucks. Here just 35.8 per cent of tests end with a positive result.
