The Life in the UK test centre is situated in the Foleshill area, north of Coventry city centre. Accessible via the A444, the centre is located on Lockhurst Lane. Parking is limited near the venue, but two free facilities are available, albeit with a total capacity of just 60 cars. Due to this, you may wish to consider public transport to avoid delays.

Free on-street parking is available here, including disabled spaces. To reach the venue, walk eight minutes heading west on Livingstone Road, then left on B4118, and finally south to Lockhurst Lane.
