Loughton (London) #493 Pro
This 9.3 km route is the shortest at Loughton, making a compact loop south through Brooklyn Avenue and Alderton Hill to Connaught Avenue. It heads to Nursery Road and then south along High Road before turning onto Manor Road and joining the Epping New Road back through the forest.
Watch Out For
With 8 traffic signals packed into 9.3 km, this route tests your traffic light handling at close intervals. Two roundabouts on High Road and Epping New Road require correct lane choice. Alderton Hill has a steep blind crest with pedestrians crossing near the shops. Old Station Road has a tricky right turn across oncoming traffic.
Route Features
A compact urban route through central Loughton. Brooklyn Avenue and Connaught Avenue are quiet 30 mph residential streets ideal for the pull up on the left. Nursery Road has a gentle curve with parked cars. The High Road section through Loughton is a busy shopping street at 30 mph. The return via Spring Grove uses residential side streets.
Key Tips
This shorter route is fast-paced with decisions coming quickly. On The Avenue, parked cars on both sides create a slalom effect. At Manor Road, the sharp right bend requires early positioning. On Earl's Path through the forest, transition smoothly from 40 mph to 30 mph as you enter the built-up area. Despite being short, examiners fit the same number of manoeuvres into this route.
