Learning to drive in Woolwich
The Woolwich Ferry carries cars, vans and lorries for free, run by TfL. Queueing, following marshals and driving on and off the boat are unusual but useful experiences once you've passed.
The town centre around Powis Street and Beresford Square has been largely pedestrianised and redesigned, so traffic uses the surrounding roads, with buses, deliveries and busy junctions. The South Circular begins nearby, heading west towards Eltham and beyond.
Belvedere and Sidcup are the nearest test centres, and Belvedere in particular has a reputation for challenging routes. Whoever you are, from nervous beginner to returning driver, lessons go at your pace in manual or automatic.
