Compare HGV training providers across Greater London, from inner boroughs to orbital areas such as Croydon, Enfield, Dartford and Uxbridge. Filter to a postcode area you can reach, then check how test booking works and what HGV jobs are listed.
There is no single London training yard. Sites sit across Greater London and the orbital towns, so a provider in Harrow or Uxbridge is a different journey from one in Dartford, Romford or Enfield. Filter by postcode area and read the training address.
Where the test is booked
This page does not name one London HGV test centre. Practical tests are booked at DVSA sites across London and the South East, and the site can be outside your home borough. Ask the provider which centre they use before you pay.
Jobs after you pass
The jobs list shows current HGV vacancies in Greater London, including roles open to newly qualified drivers. Some adverts still ask for experience. A vacancy is a live advert, not a promise of work.

London and the South East use several practical test sites. Your training provider will normally confirm where your test is booked. That site may be outside your home borough.
DVSA LGV test sites
Several sites cover London and the South East. Your provider confirms the one on your booking. This page does not match providers to centres.
There is no set London price. Each provider sets its own, and London and the South East courses are often toward the top of typical UK advertised ranges (about £1,200 to £4,000, depending on the category and what is included). A figure on a listing is indicative. Ask for a written quote before you pay. See HGV training costs and compare Greater London providers.
Which HGV licence should I start with?+
Choose the lorry you want to drive. Category C (Class 2) is the larger rigid. Category C+E (Class 1) adds a heavier trailer, including most articulated lorries. You can train for C+E from a car licence; you do not have to pass C first. HGV licence categories explains the weights. Then see what London-area providers actually list.
Can I train for Cat C+E in London?+
Yes, if that provider offers it. Look for Category C+E on the profile — a listing that only shows Category C will not give you an articulated licence. You can train for C+E from a car licence; you do not have to pass Category C first. Check the yard is one you can reach. Filter Greater London by C+E.
Where are the nearest HGV test centres?+
This page does not name a single London test centre. Providers book practical tests at DVSA sites across London and the South East, often outside the learner’s home borough. Ask which site they use before you pay. Booking and qualification steps are on GOV.UK.
Do London training providers take complete beginners?+
Most people start from a full car licence. You also need a D4 medical and provisional lorry entitlement before the practical tests. You do not need existing HGV experience. Not every London provider runs that first-licence route, so check the courses and ask what you must have finished before the training week. The steps are in how to become an HGV driver.
Can I get weekend or evening HGV training?+
Some providers offer weekend or evening training and some do not. Where a listing has recorded it, it can be filtered. If the profile does not say, ask. A blank field is not a no. Show providers that list flexible hours.
Are there HGV jobs for newly qualified drivers around London?+
The vacancies on this page are current HGV jobs matched to Greater London. Some welcome newly qualified drivers. Others ask for experience, so read the advert. A listing is not a measure of how easy work is to find. Browse HGV jobs.
Can I train in London if I live in Croydon, Enfield or Dartford?+
Yes, if you can reach the yard. Croydon (CR), Enfield (EN) and Dartford (DA) are already in the postcode areas this page uses, along with places such as Romford, Uxbridge and Kingston. A Greater London listing is only useful if the training address is a journey you will actually make. Search Greater London providers and check the address.
How do I know if a provider actually delivers the training themselves?+
Check the status on the profile. Verified Training Provider means LearnHGV has checked that this business delivers HGV or LGV training. 100% Direct Delivery is a separate mark for providers who declare they do not pass your course to another trainer. Listings can be live before either mark is in place. Ask who will be in the cab with you and which yard you will use. You book with the provider. Listing labels and how to spot a broker are the short versions.
