Best Driving School inSidcup, Bexley

Sidcup sits on the Kent borders of the London Borough of Bexley and is home to its own DVSA driving test centre on Cray Avenue. Our local instructors know the area street by street, from the busy A20 Sidcup bypass to the quieter residential roads of Blackfen and Lamorbey. We teach the exact roundabouts and slip roads used on the Sidcup test routes, so the roads feel familiar long before test day. Lessons are available seven days a week with pick up from home, work or college across DA14 and DA15.
