Buckhurst Hill is in Essex, in the Epping Forest district, between Woodford and Loughton. Its streets are mostly residential, many on a slope, which gives regular practice with hill starts. Queens Road has shops, parking bays and steady traffic. The Epping New Road along the forest edge gives faster driving with bends. Roding Valley sits on the eastern side, with its own junctions and the Central line station. Lessons start in the quiet streets, move onto Queens Road, and then take in the forest road. Learners here often test at Loughton. Pick up covers Buckhurst Hill and Roding Valley.

Route Tips from Buckhurst Hill
- Most routes leave along the High Road or up Church Hill. The High Road is busy with shops, crossings and buses, so keep your speed down and your observation up.
- Golding's Hill (A121) is on most routes and runs at up to 40mph through the forest. Make progress where it is safe and slow down early for the junctions at each end.
- Many routes use the A104 Epping New Road through the forest, which is 40mph in places. Build up to the limit where the road allows and come off it smoothly.
