Free Driving Controls Lesson For NEW Students
Driving Test Centre GuideTaking your driving test at Mitcham? Mitcham tests currently start from the Hilton Hotel in Croydon, not from Mitcham town centre, so it helps to know exactly where you are going. This guide covers the address, what to bring, what happens on the day and what the routes are like, written by instructors who prepare learners for this test every week.
Mitcham driving tests currently start from the Hilton Hotel, 101 Waddon Way, Purley Way, Croydon CR9 4HH. The DVSA moved Mitcham practical tests there from 6 August 2024. Always check your booking confirmation for the start point before test day, and see the official DVSA test centre finder.
Arrive 10 to 15 minutes early. The examiner checks your licence and asks you to read a number plate, then asks one “show me, tell me” safety question. The drive lasts about 40 minutes and includes around 20 minutes of independent driving following signs or a sat nav, plus one manoeuvre.
Expect a quick move from the quiet hotel car park into busy roads. Our instructors drill the parts learners find hardest: pulling away onto Waddon Way, the A23 Purley Way dual carriageway, the Lombard Roundabout, the 20mph zones around Mitcham Common and manoeuvres in residential streets. Read our full breakdown: We Reveal the Hardest Parts of the New Mitcham Driving Test Route.
Lessons are £39 an hour (£38 an hour on a 10-hour block) and test day is £135.
