Practice both quiet residential streets and the busier commuter routes you'll use to reach test centres. Work on junctions and lane discipline as you approach larger road junctions and roundabouts on routes out of town. Book a few lessons that include the drive to Wanstead so you know traffic patterns and parking near the centre. Try lessons at different times of day to experience rush-hour traffic and quieter periods.

Getting Started
Apply for your provisional licence online or by post, then book your theory test when you feel ready. Arrange regular lessons with a local instructor and aim for a mix of town and out-of-town driving. When your instructor and you agree, book the practical test at Wanstead or a nearby centre.
