Book Your First LessonLearning to drive in Lee, Lewisham
Lee sits on two big roads. The South Circular runs through on its way between Catford and Eltham, and Lee High Road carries the A20. Burnt Ash Hill adds a gradient and pedestrian crossings, which makes it good practice for hill starts and planning ahead. Around Manor House Gardens and towards Grove Park the streets are residential and calmer, and that is where lessons begin. Grove Park also has plenty of quiet roads for manoeuvres. Lee learners usually test at Sidcup, so later lessons spend time near that centre.

Route Tips from Lee
- The centre is on Maidstone Road (the A211). The A211 carries on north as Foots Cray High Street and Sidcup Hill towards Sidcup, so your drive starts on a main road with side roads and junctions from the first minute.
- Cray Road (the A224) meets Sidcup Hill at traffic lights, and North Cray Road (the A223) meets Maidstone Road at a roundabout. Both are close to the centre, so read the signs early and get into the right lane.
- The A20 Sidcup By-pass is a dual carriageway just south west of the centre. At Crittall's Corner it links to Maidstone Road and Edgington Way through slip roads and roundabouts. Pick your lane from the signs on the approach and hold it.
