1. About Barking (Tanner Street) Test Centre from a Learner’s View

The centre sits on Tanner Street near Barking station. There’s no public car park; you’ll start from the kerb in a 20 mph zone, weaving past parked cars and mini‑roundabouts on Ripple Road.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive ten minutes early with your provisional. After the eyesight check and a “show me, tell me” question, you’ll perform one reversing manoeuvre—parallel parking is common—and possibly an emergency stop. Independent driving often joins the A13 or A406, so polish lane‑merge timing.

3. After You Pass

Your pass can be uploaded online; the photocard licence usually arrives inside two weeks. Book Pass Plus sessions on the A13 toward Canary Wharf and compare black‑box insurers.
