  • Residential streets in and around Harrow

    Practise working out where you can pass parked cars and where you should wait. Once you can judge the space reliably, add pulling up on the left and moving off again with a full set of observations.

  • Station Road, College Road and Greenhill Way

    Use the town centre for practice around crossings, bus stops and junctions. Look ahead for where the queue ends and get used to reading signs while keeping your attention on people crossing.

  • Harrow on the Hill

    The gradients give you a chance to practise moving away from a stop and keeping your speed steady downhill. In an automatic, pay attention to how the car responds as you come off the brake.

These are places to practise specific skills. DVSA does not publish its test routes. What to expect on your practical test

Planning your practical test

Test centres to check

Pinner (London) and Greenford (Horsenden Lane) are options to check. Which journey makes sense depends on whether you’re starting in north, central or south Harrow. Check both from your postcode before you book.

Choosing a test time

If your trip to the centre overlaps with the school run, leave extra time and check signed School Street restrictions. Practise any hill starts and town-centre junctions you find difficult before tackling them in heavier traffic.
