Best Driving School inBlackheath, Greenwich
Blackheath straddles the boroughs of Greenwich and Lewisham, built around the open heath and the village. Our instructors help learners handle the heath crossroads and the Shooters Hill Road roundabout while using the quieter residential streets of Kidbrooke and Westcombe for early lessons. The wide open roads across the heath are great for building smooth control, and Sidcup test centre is a short drive away. We cover all of SE3 seven days a week with pick up from home, work or station.
