1. By car

Motor House, Upper Grosvenor Road, Tunbridge Wells TN1 2ES. From the A26 Mount Ephraim turn into Upper Grosvenor Rd at The Spa Hotel lights; the test‑centre gate is opposite the Esso garage. On‑site parking is tight—plan a safe drop‑off on Beulah Road.

2. By public transport

• Rail – Tunbridge Wells station is 0.7 miles south‑west; walk 15 mins via Quarry Road or catch Arriva 281 (every 10 min) from the station forecourt to “Grosvenor Bridge”.
• Bus – Arriva 277, 281 & 231 link High Brooms, Tonbridge and town centre every 10 mins, stopping right outside Motor House.

3. Cycling / walking

The leafy Crab & Winkle Way on NCN Route 18 connects Ashford and Tunbridge Wells, joining Upper Grosvenor Road at Grosvenor Park. Lock bikes at the Grosvenor & Hilbert Park café 200 m away.

1. A26 Yew Tree Rd crossroads

• Typical slip‑up – blocking the yellow‑box on green and trapping cross‑traffic.
• Quick fix – wait behind the stop‑line until your exit lane is clear, then commit smoothly.

2. Mount Ephraim 30 → 20 buffer

• Typical slip‑up – entering past the common at 30 mph and triggering the SID.
• Quick fix – down‑shift to 2nd by the terminal sign and stabilise at 18 mph.

3. St John’s Rd mini roundabout chain

• Typical slip‑up – treating the pair as one and failing to give way twice.
• Quick fix – reset MSPSL between discs, check right, proceed decisively at 15 mph.

1. About Tunbridge Wells Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Situated at Upper Grosvenor Road TN1 2ED, the centre offers six bays squeezed between trade units; reversing vans are common. Local ADIs suggest a nerve‑settling loop in Grosvenor & Hilbert Park car‑park.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Bay‑park is almost guaranteed. Independent driving usually joins the A26 St Johns Road, loops the A21 Pembury interchange and returns—expect 30‑to‑70 changes and bus‑lane plates. Emergency stops on Sandhurst Road straight; mirrors checked at the Royal Victoria Place roundabouts.

3. After You Pass

Digital pass upload delivers the licence in about a week. Pass Plus via the M25 Sevenoaks link, A21 dual and A228 Medway valley sharpens multi‑lane technique.
