Book Your First LessonLearning to drive in Abbey Wood, Greenwich
Abbey Wood sits between Woolwich, Thamesmead and Belvedere, and it has a lot of dual carriageway nearby. Harrow Manorway rises over a flyover, Eastern Way runs past at speed, and the Thamesmead roundabouts are large. Those are the roads that make a learner confident at joining traffic and choosing lanes. The station area has been rebuilt around the Elizabeth line and can be busy. Quieter streets towards Lesnes Abbey and Bostall Woods suit early lessons. The Belvedere test centre is close, so later lessons spend time on the roads around it. Lessons can start from home, Abbey Wood Station or work.

Route Tips from Abbey Wood
- Routes leave the centre onto Woolwich Road (the A206), turning left or right at the end of the road. It is the first junction of your test, so take your time and look both ways properly.
- Most routes use the A2016, which runs as Bronze Age Way and Eastern Way through Thamesmead. It is a dual carriageway with a run of roundabouts, and Eastern Way is 50mph. Pick your lane from the signs on the approach to each roundabout and hold it.
- Leaving Eastern Way for Harrow Manorway (the A2041), many routes take a slip road between two roundabouts and then go straight on at two more towards Knee Hill. Read the lane markings at each one rather than following the car in front.
