Book Your First LessonLearning to drive in Deptford, Lewisham
Deptford is tight and busy in places. The High Street and the market draw crowds, Deptford Broadway carries the A2 through, and Evelyn Street has bus lanes and plenty of cyclists. It is useful driving to learn, because it trains you to watch in every direction at once. Early lessons start somewhere quieter, often the residential streets near Pepys Park towards the river, where there is room to practise without pressure. The New Cross gyratory is close by and usually comes later in the course.

Route Tips from Deptford
- Routes leave along Burnt Ash Lane and College Road into Bromley. The Plaistow junction is a small one way system round a green, so follow the lane arrows.
- Bromley town centre means busy junctions, buses and pedestrians around the High Street and Widmore Road. Take your time and plan your lane early.
- Many routes loop through Shortlands on Station Road and Valley Road, then back along Westmoreland Road and Masons Hill to the A21 Kentish Way.
