This 12.6 km route takes around 28 minutes, heading south-west from West Wickham through Highfield Drive and Chessington Way before looping north-east through The Avenue into Hayes and Bromley. It returns via Croydon Road. The route includes 20, 30 and 40 mph roads, 3 roundabouts, 4 traffic lights, a school zone, and marked speed-40 waypoints near Croydon Road.

Watch Out For

The school zone at Baston Road drops to 20 mph during school hours. Two 40 mph speed markers on Croydon Road require prompt acceleration, and candidates often fail to reach the limit. Eastry Avenue is a narrow residential road where oncoming traffic forces you to pull in behind parked cars. The roundabout at Baston Road has fast-moving traffic from the right.

Route Features

Manor Road and Manor Park Road are quieter 30 mph streets with gentle bends. Mead Way opens up to a wider road with better visibility. Heath Rise has a steep descent requiring controlled braking. The route passes through both quiet residential streets and busier main roads, giving a good range of driving conditions.

Key Tips

For the pull up on the left near Rose Walk, choose a spot past any driveways. On the 40 mph sections, accelerate smoothly and reach the limit within a reasonable distance. At the school zone, check for the flashing amber lights. On Bolderwood Way, watch for children near the green spaces.
