Local Driving Tips
Start lessons on quieter residential streets off Kentish Town Road before moving onto busier routes. Practice junctions around Fortess Road and the approach to Camden to get used to filters and bus lanes. Pay attention to cyclists and bus driver behaviour on Kentish Town Road, and practise stopping and starting in bus lanes. Parking bays can be tight, so rehearse bay parking and reversing on side streets. Try lessons outside peak hours if you want calmer roads.
