Learning to drive in Croydon
On parts of George Street the road narrows to a single lane shared by trams and traffic, and there's more street running on Addiscombe Road. Trams can't swerve or stop quickly, so you learn to watch the tracks, never block them and give trams the priority they need.
The Croydon Flyover on the A232 and the Underpass beneath George Street and Wellesley Road move traffic quickly through the centre. They demand confident lane choice, especially when signs for several destinations appear at once.
Mitcham test centre is only a couple of miles away, with Morden as the alternative. Croydon is a big, diverse place, so whether you're a student, a parent, a commuter or new to UK roads, lessons are shaped around you in manual or automatic.
