Hendon (London) #851 Pro
This 7.7-mile, 31-minute route heads north-west from Hendon through Bunn's Lane to Mill Hill, then continues via Hale Lane into Edgware. It loops around Edgware Way and returns through Deans Lane and Booth Road in Burnt Oak before heading back to the centre. Most of the route is 30 mph residential roads, with a 50 mph stretch on Edgware Way. With 3 roundabouts but only 4 traffic signals, this route tests roundabout skills more than signal awareness. One of the longer Hendon routes at nearly 31 minutes.
Watch Out For
- Edgware Way. Speed increases to 50 mph; stay in the left lane unless overtaking. Watch for vehicles merging from side roads.
- Hale Lane. Long residential road with parked cars on both sides and frequent side-road junctions; check mirrors before each pass.
- Broadfields Avenue roundabout. Multi-exit roundabout at the Edgware Way junction; choose the correct lane before entry and signal left when exiting.
- Orange Hill Road. Steep gradient changes affect stopping distance; adjust following distance on the downhill sections.
Route Features
- 3 roundabouts and 4 sets of traffic signals
- 10 left turns and 6 right turns across residential areas
- Covers Hendon, Mill Hill, Burnt Oak, and Edgware
- Mainly 30 mph with a 50 mph section on Edgware Way
Test Manoeuvres
- Pull up on the left near Boulevard Drive
Key Tips
- On Hale Lane, anticipate parked cars early and use the MSM routine before moving out; do not swing wide without checking mirrors
- At each roundabout, give way to traffic from the right and signal your exit clearly
- Keep a steady 30 mph through Burnt Oak residential streets; exceeding the limit even briefly is a serious fault
