Book Your First LessonLearning to drive in Erith, Bexley
Erith sits on the river in the north of Bexley, and its roads are a mix of town centre, riverside roundabouts and industrial estates. Bronze Age Way is a dual carriageway that takes you towards Belvedere, where the Erith test centre sits on Crabtree Manorway. Around the riverside trading estates you share the road with vans and lorries, and the roundabouts are wide. Northumberland Heath, up the hill from the town centre, is quieter and residential, which makes it a sensible place to start. Because the Belvedere test centre is close, later lessons can spend real time on the roads around it. Pick up works from home, Erith Station or work.

- Expect the residential streets around Lesney Park, Park Crescent and Carlton Road, with parked cars on both sides and give-and-take pinch points.
