This West Wickham test route heads north through High Street before looping through the residential streets of Monks Orchard Road in Beckenham. You will encounter 30 mph roads throughout with some 20 mph stretches near the test centre. The route covers 8.6 km in around 24 minutes with 2 roundabouts, 3 sets of traffic lights, and a good mix of left and right turns.

Watch Out For

The Eden Park Avenue section has parked cars narrowing the road, requiring careful judgement on when to give way. Hayes Way has a deceptive bend where speed can creep up. The 20 mph zone around Rose Walk near the centre is closely watched by examiners.

Route Features

Mostly 30 mph residential roads with gentle curves. Stone Park Avenue is a quiet stretch good for building confidence before the busier return leg. Elwill Way and Malmains Way feature parked cars on both sides, testing your ability to read gaps. The route returns via Station Road which has bus stops and pedestrian crossings.

Key Tips

Practise the pull up on the left near Rose Walk where the road is narrow. At each roundabout, check mirrors early and signal in good time. Keep a steady 30 mph on Bushey Way and avoid braking late for the parked cars.
