The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency does not have a defining boundary for (a) ‘London’ and therefore cannot provide an average waiting time figure.

The official waiting time is based on more than 10% of test slots being available in an individual test centre. The official measure is not a weighted average and does not take account of volumes of tests we deliver at any given test centre.

As at 09.01.17, the average waiting time for a practical driving test in (b) England and (c) Hornsey and Wood Green constituency is:

England

6.7 weeks

Wood Green driving test centre

15 weeks
