London has no single 11+ — the dates that matter by borough
This is the thing London parents most often get wrong: there is no London-wide test. Each borough or consortium runs its own, with its own registration window, and several of the deadlines fall months apart. Miss one and there is no late entry. Dates below are for the autumn 2026 sitting; always confirm against the school's own admissions page before relying on them.
