Learning to drive in Goodmayes

The High Road is the busy, multicultural heart of Goodmayes, full of independent shops, restaurants and food stores near the Elizabeth line station. King George Hospital's A&E is on Barley Lane, so knowing how to react calmly and safely to emergency vehicles is a skill you'll use.
