Croydon Theory Test Centre Directions

The testing area sits within Suite 6, on the building’s first floor.

Car

Croydon is a large town situated in the southern outskirts of London. Its test venue is located within Suffolk House, which is just to the south of Croydon town centre. The town is accessible via the A232, which can be easily reached via the M25 ring road.

Please note that despite Suffolk House’s George Street address, the building entrance is positioned on College Road.

Parking

There are plenty of parking sites in close proximity to the test centre. In terms of parking duration, we would recommend securing two hours of parking coverage, which will allow, in the case of any local car park, enough time to conduct your test, and journey to and from your vehicle.

Croydon Central Car Park is a short, four-minute walk away from Suffolk House, and offers a two-hour parking ticket at a reasonable cost of £6.20. Please note that all payment types are accepted, as well as the Your Parking Space service line, which facilitates phone transactions. Disabled spaces, and electronic vehicle charging, is available at this site.

There is also a suitable car park located on Hazeldean Road, which is approximately 500m from Suffolk House. Parking is noticeably cheaper at this site, charging just £3.40 for a two-hour ticket. However, please be aware that payment can only be taken via the RingGo phone platform.
