Learning to drive in Bromley by Bow
The A12 runs from the Bow Interchange south towards the A13 and the Blackwall Tunnel, and it carries a lot of fast, heavy traffic. Joining it, leaving it and knowing which lane you need well in advance are skills you'll use constantly once you drive in this part of London. Remember the Blackwall Tunnel now charges per crossing.
Around the old gasworks site by the river, a large new neighbourhood of more than 2,000 homes is being built, so expect construction traffic and changing layouts nearby. Away from the A12, the residential streets are a calmer place to practise.
Whether you're starting from scratch, nervous about fast roads or returning after a break, lessons go at your pace, in manual or automatic.
