Learning to drive in Islington

Those filters mean many residential streets around Angel and Canonbury can't be used as shortcuts, so journeys use Upper Street, Essex Road and the other main roads. Reading 'no through road' signs early saves a lot of turning around.

Upper Street and Angel are busy with buses, cyclists, restaurant deliveries and people crossing between bars and shops. Just south, Pentonville Road and City Road are part of the Congestion Charge zone boundary, so once you pass, it helps to know where the line runs.

Wood Green and Tottenham are the nearest test centres. Whether you're a student, a professional working in the City or a nervous beginner, lessons go at your pace in manual or automatic.
