This Chingford route heads south through Whitehall Road and Woodford Green to the A406 North Circular Road, navigating the notorious Charlie Brown's Roundabout before returning via Chingford Lane. At 14.8 km with 5 roundabouts, 14 traffic signals, and 50 mph dual carriageway sections, this is the longest and most challenging route from Chingford.

Watch Out For

Charlie Brown's Roundabout connects multiple A-roads with heavy traffic and requires precise lane selection. The A406 North Circular at 50 mph demands confident merging and lane discipline. Three give way junctions near Woodford have restricted views. Two pedestrian crossings on Woodford New Road can catch you off guard.

Route Features

Speed limits span from 20 mph in residential Kimberley Road to 50 mph on the A406 dual carriageway. The route passes through Snakes Lane West where parked cars narrow the road, and the Woodford Green roundabout near the cricket ground. A U-turn on High Road adds complexity.

Test Manoeuvres

You will be asked to pull up on the left near Station Road. Signal, check mirrors, and stop in a safe position away from junctions and bus stops.

Key Tips

Practise the A406 and Charlie Brown's Roundabout extensively before test day. Know which lane to be in for each exit. The 14 traffic lights provide natural pauses. Use them to collect yourself. Transition smoothly between 50 mph and 30 mph zones without sharp braking.
