Hendon (London) #864 Pro
A 11.9 km (7.4 miles) route from the Hendon DVSA Test Centre, taking about 28 minutes. This route heads north through Grahame Park Way to Mill Hill Broadway, continues to Selvage Lane near Edgware, and loops back via Deansbrook Road and Watling Avenue. With 3 roundabouts and only 2 traffic lights, this is one of the most roundabout-heavy routes from Hendon, testing your ability to navigate multi-lane roundabouts confidently.
Watch Out For
- Broadfields Avenue roundabout. Large multi-lane roundabout near Edgware. Choose the correct lane on approach, give way to traffic from the right, and signal left when taking your exit. Lane discipline here is closely watched by examiners.
- Mill Hill Broadway. Busy high street with buses pulling in and out of stops. Anticipate sudden stops and watch for pedestrians at zebra crossings.
- Orange Hill Road. Long residential road with speed humps and a 20 mph zone near schools. Easy to drift over 20 mph between humps.

Key Tips
- With 3 roundabouts and minimal traffic lights, this route relies heavily on your roundabout skills. Practise the correct lane approach for each roundabout exit direction.
- On Farm Road and West Way, parked cars narrow the road. Check your left mirror when passing to avoid clipping wing mirrors.
- The low number of traffic lights means more uncontrolled junctions. Always look right first at every give way line.
