Book Your First LessonLearning to drive in New Cross, Lewisham
New Cross is dominated by the A2 and the gyratory where it meets Lewisham Way and the roads from New Cross Gate. Buses, cyclists and students crossing near Goldsmiths keep it busy for most of the day. That makes it a demanding place to drive and a good one to learn observation. Lessons do not start there. Telegraph Hill, up behind the main road, has quieter residential streets, though some are steep, which is useful practice for hill starts in a manual. The gyratory and the A2 bus lanes come in once you feel in control of the car. Lessons can start from home, campus or work.

Route Tips from New Cross
- 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.
