Erith sits on the Thames in the north of the London Borough of Bexley, with its own riverside town centre and easy access to the Belvedere driving test centre just along the road. Our instructors know the Bronze Age Way dual carriageway and the industrial estate roads that feature on the local test routes, as well as the quieter streets of Northumberland Heath for early practice. Belvedere has one of the higher pass rates in the area and we teach its routes in detail. We cover all of DA8 seven days a week with pick up from home or work.
