Getting to the test in Cambridge
Cambridge station is south of the centre, with trains to London King's Cross and Liverpool Street, Ely and Norwich. Driving in the centre is restricted, so park and ride or the guided busway is usually easier.
We publish no centre addresses or opening hours, here or anywhere on this site. The list changes, and a stale address costs someone a £50 appointment. Your postcode on the official service returns the centres you can actually book.
Before you book
The rest is set nationally and is no different in Cambridge:
Life in the UK test in Cambridge: common questions
- Is there a Life in the UK test centre in Cambridge?
We do not publish addresses or opening hours, because the list of centres changes. Enter your postcode on GOV.UK and the service returns what you can book across East of England, nearest first.
- How far would I have to travel from Cambridge for the test?
The nearest we cover is Peterborough, roughly 29 miles from Cambridge, so there is no quick alternative. Book as early as you can.
- What if there are no appointments left in Cambridge?
Book any centre the service offers you, not only the closest. From Cambridge that means Peterborough at about 29 miles or Luton at about 32 miles, measured in a straight line. One of those often has a slot sooner.
