TfL topographical test practice
Practise map skills for the TfL topographical assessment: plot routes, read map symbols, find places and streets, and use compass points. Every set of questions is new.
The map is fictional. It shows a practice town called Kingsford and is for practising map skills. The TfL assessment uses its own digital map of London. Our questions are original and are not real assessment questions.

How this practice works
- Quick practice. Pick one section: route planning essentials, map symbols, places of interest, specific streets, road numbers, compass points or plan a route. You see the answer and the reason after each question.
- Practice test. Twelve multiple-choice questions and three routes, scored out of 100 with the same mark split TfL publishes. Route marks are our own estimate, so your real score may differ.
- Plot a route. Tap the junctions in order from the green marker to the red marker. Then see your route and the most direct legal route on the same map.

Questions
Is this the real TfL topographical test?
No. It is independent practice on a fictional map of a town called Kingsford. The TfL assessment uses its own digital map of London. Our questions are original practice questions.
Is the topographical practice free?
Yes. It is free with no sign-up. You can practise each question type, plot routes and take a scored practice test as often as you like.
Do you store my answers or routes?
No. Your answers and routes stay in your browser. We record only anonymous counts, such as how many practice tests are started and the score.
Why is the map fictional?
The skills are the same on any map: read the grid, symbols and road numbers, follow one-way streets and turn signs, and plan a direct route. A fictional map lets us practise those skills without copying a London atlas.
