Which test centre should you book in Ealing?
DVSA does not name a test centre after Ealing. The centre listed above sits inside the same borough or immediately next to the town, which is why it is the realistic option for Ealing learners. The pass rate shown is that centre's genuine DVSA figure for 2025 to 2026, not an estimate for Ealing.
A centre's pass rate reflects the candidates who book there as much as the roads around it, so treat it as context rather than a prediction. Sitting the test on roads you have actually practised on is usually worth more than a point or two on a headline figure.
Learning to drive in Ealing
Ealing is covered by the W and UB postcode areas and is reported in the London region of England in national statistics. That is worth knowing when you read published figures: regional averages for lesson prices and pass rates are the bucket Ealing falls into, and they can sit some way from what an individual instructor or test centre actually does.
If you cannot get a convenient slot locally, the nearest alternatives are in Southall (Southall (London), 44.8%), Hayes (Yeading (London), 52.8%) and Uxbridge (Uxbridge (London), 52.3%), on 2025 to 2026 figures. Each is a different set of test routes, so treat a move as a fresh area to learn rather than a shortcut.

The full course is the bigger number: roughly 45 hours of tuition plus the £34 provisional licence, £23 theory test and £62 practical test fees.
Block bookings, automatic against manual, and how much private practice you get all move that total. Our guide to how much driving lessons cost breaks the figures down by region and explains what changes them. Always ask an instructor for their own rate rather than relying on a published average.
