“Passes today at Goodmayes with only one fault. Massive thanks to Nahim. He moved his schedule around to get my lessons in to make sure I was prepared. His knowledge of the local area was great. He took me on a lot of potential test routes and the route we practiced came up on my test. Best instructor around!”

For many learners, Gants Hill means one thing: the roundabout. Five roads meet there, including both sides of the A12 Eastern Avenue, Cranbrook Road and Woodford Avenue, and traffic lights control parts of it. If you live in IG2, it is likely to feature in your driving one way or another. The good news is that the streets around it are quiet. Beehive Lane, Perth Road and the roads near Valentines Park give room for early lessons before the roundabout comes into it. When it does, it gets broken down: one approach at a time, at quiet times, then busier ones.

Route Tips from Gants Hill
- Every route leaves by Kildowan Road, a 20mph side street, and most turn onto Granton Road or Goodmayes Road straight away. Check both ways properly at that first junction; nerves make it the easiest place to rush.
- Green Lane (the A1083) appears on almost every route. It is a long 30mph road with side roads, crossings and parked cars, so hold a steady 30 and watch for vehicles pulling out.
- Many routes head south into Becontree: Goodmayes Lane, Mayesbrook Road, Becontree Avenue and Wood Lane. Becontree Avenue is 20mph and has a central reservation on parts of it, so check which side of the island you need before you turn.

Roads to practise before your test
The spots learners in Gants Hill tend to find hardest.
- Choosing and holding a lane on the Gants Hill roundabout
- Reading the traffic lights on the roundabout approaches
- Joining and leaving the A12 Eastern Avenue
- Right turns at Cranbrook Road near Valentines Park
- Parking on side streets with cars on both sides
- Building test day confidence on the Goodmayes routes, practised from a Gants Hill start point
Breaking down the roundabout
Gants Hill looks complicated because a lot is happening at once. Broken down, it is a set of simpler tasks: read the lane signs on the approach, pick your lane early, follow the lights, check your mirrors before you leave. Practising each part separately, then together, is far easier than trying to learn it all at once.
Most learners find it far less daunting once each part is familiar.
Quiet streets close by
Away from the roundabout, Gants Hill is residential. Beehive Lane, Perth Road and the roads near Valentines Park are where most lessons begin, and where manoeuvres like parking and reversing get practised before the busier roads. Valentines Park is close by, and the residential roads around it are calm enough for reversing and parking practice.
Many lessons start and finish there, with a short spell on busier roads in the middle once you are ready.
