Northampton Theory Test Centre Directions
The venue is on the first floor of Charles House, within the West Suite. The site is signposted well on arrival and is a large office-style building with a blue doorway.
Car
The test venue is based within Charles House, which sits on Derngate in the town centre of Northampton. The town can be accessed via the M1, which passes through just south of Northampton. Please note that there is limited on-street parking on Derngate, and therefore there is no guarantee that you’ll be able to park here on test day. We’ve provided an alternative site below, which is just around the corner from Charles House.
Hazelwood Road Car Park
This car park is open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. Parking charges are as follows:
- 2 hours = £2
- 3 hours = £2.50
- 4 hours = £3.50
Please note there is a maximum spend cap in operation at this site of £6.50. Therefore, if you’re planning to extend your stay in Northampton beyond your test, you will not be charged more than this amount. Specific tickets are available for both evening and overnight parking should you need them.
